What?!

You're saying you're leaving it that height and swaping in stock control arms? Or you're leaving the broom sticks on there?

There's nothing strong and steady about that lift.

Have you seen it lately? It's not steady. It's horrible...

The lift needs to be changed to something safe.

If you weld a noodle to the frame does mean it will now support your weight?

Please open your eyes. Please change this.

^^ HAHA! I mean i dont kno who did this lift but it looks like a blind mad did it or someone with kno knowledge of suspension and just did what they felt would work. But if you wanna drive it the way it is then go for it. But dont be surprised when ur drivig and hit a pot hole if the welds start to breAk and things start falling apart dont say no one tried to help. Well all just trying to say that by going thru the lift peice by peice and making it right will most likely save ur life and save you from bigger problems down the road.

Or... don't drive it on the street because that will seriously injure the person driving behind you

Honestly what i would do with that truck is just make it a trail/mudding rig. Dont even bother puttig it on the highways. Go in the woods and beat the hell out of it. What u got to loose? 100 bucks? Id just go have some fun till its non driveable.

For some reason I have a feeling he paid more than 100 bucks for it...

He said he was just towing it to places.
