Unsafe would be the best description. They are using a tire too skinny for the rim.

Always get a kick out of the exhaust through the bed floor mod.

Several young men own Ford pickups in my area and a large number have made extensive "upgrades" to their rides. A couple of days ago I was behind an F150 (Same year as mine) that had to be at least 20 inches taller than my truck. The tires were out of the wheel wells by a good 6 inches (and stretched), and he had two in-bed stacks that were big enough to throw a cat through!

I cannot imagine how poorly it handles. I would say the tires will be the first to let go. As a side note, there wasn't a spec of dirt on any of it and no hitch.

Stacks on a gas truck is just odd. Only see them on diesels which makes sense because they could look and black smoke like a big rig.

If it's smokin' black, you've either got an engine problem, or you're an idiot doing it on purpose. How many Dodges have you seen doing that? My point!
