lmao, I literally read all 28 pages... This is the most ridiculous and useless thing I have ever seen.

I have come to the conclusion that if nobody said anything nice, this tread would be consisted of:

SquatLife: TTT
SquatLife: Bump

Would you like a set of Rockstars,a flat bill hat and some White Oakleys to complete your douche bag look? I know I'm not the only one thinking it...

Almost entirely correct, except that the rear will almost always have more travel.

Here's an example of what a trophy/race truck can do. Remember, they are driving on the desert at highway speeds, and most are 2WD. This truck was outfitted with a full cantilever linked system. I believe this particular truck pulls ~18" of travel up front, ~28" in back.



Prerunners are basically scaled down versions of race/trophy trucks, but with amenities useful for scouting a course ahead of the race trucks, such as windshields, AC, etc. Many prerunners also act as chase trucks to assist in repairs, tows, etc.

Now I'll admit, my own truck has a bit of squat, but not by choice. I have a camper in back, and the previous owner never got around to finishing the bed cage/long travel leaf springs, so the front has massive coilovers, but the back is almost completely stock. This gives me like a ~2" difference, which I absolutely HATE. Makes me feel like the truck is overloaded, without actually doing anything meaningful. I would much rather have a leveled, lifted truck than a squatted truck.
