For the record, I am just joking. Trucks are all about personality, make it yours.

Yours doesn't even squat that much. Also, a squating Ford, still looks a thousand time better than a squatting Chevy. I'm just confused what the purpose of the squat is. Purely aesthetics? How does the truck drive, feel weird to be looking up into the sky?

There is no purpose. It's just plain stupid.

Nobody really got past the "it looks stupid" stage to get into my reasoning. I have the ability to do anything with the 35s, yet fit virtually anywhere with my truck, even in my short garage that i park in at my house. I think it looks good as well, and with having the amp side steps, it's really not hard to get into my truck. Thanks for shedding some light, i know it's not for everyone.

Dude, if the front of the truck fits with 35's, if it was level, you wouldn't gain any height.

Well I appreciate the legitimate response, honestly didn't expect it from the likes of your earlier post. All I have to say is that if you can't handle a little humor then stay off these forums and go post to F15DY Boys on Facebook. The joke was about squatting trucks looking broken, wasn't to call you out personally by any means, but since you had the nerve to throw s**t out about my truck (completely irrelevant to this thread) I had come back, so you asked for it.

And I'm sorry, but if you think Grenade is a poser company then I'd hate to see where you compare other top brands like Burton, Flow, DC, Electric, and Volcom because it's definitely up there with all of those (and others unmentioned), I rarely hit the mountain and don't see an *** ton of each... whether in Western NC or legit slopes.

Man up and take it for what it is... open your eyes and go back through the countless number of pages in this thread so you can realize that I'm not the only one who thinks this.

Yours isn't stock height on the rear is it? Shackle drop? How tight is the fit in your garage from roof to ceiling? 1-2" or nothing that crazy? Cuz IMO I'd rather leave the back stock, level the front, and then 35's. Should still be about the same height, no? But that's the beauty of trucks, I can make fun of your truck all day, but it's still yours, not mine. Do whatever the hell you want with it. If every day you walk out to your truck and you get that stupid little grin that I think all of us get, then good for you, enjoy it.
But always remember, a little mocking is good for the soul. Keeps us grounded.

Minus the fact that it's GM, is this the kind of lean you'd like to have, or is there a limit for you?

When my Yakima roofs are on, 1/2" to hitting. Literally have to creep it in slowly into the garage. I did have it leveled for awhile, and when I first got it, I had a 3" rear block too. I really didn't like the look of it at all. I realized I would like my truck lower, but I still wanted my big tires. It's an uphill battle always with squatting trucks. Referring to that truck posted, that's too much squat in my opinion, a little much for my taste.

Squatting trucks remind me of ratrods. They seem terrible to drive, look quite odd, and are made fun of a lot. But people who have them love them!

I can respect the work put into a rat rod much more than a truck they pulled the stock block out of and did a bunch of cookie cutter half *** mods on. A rat rod is a display of mechanical and fabrication ability, that doesn't need flashy paint to draw attention if done right. A pickup dragging ***, and shining HID's in people's faces just screams douche to me.
