Default Need yall advice, knowledge, and thoughts

I am thinking about trading trucks with a guy. Wanted to see what yall thought of the truck. It does need a few thing for sure. First off, im gonna take off the body lift bc he is runnin 35s and it look stupid and I don’t like the look of a body lift and also get rid of the ulgy *** tail lights. But I cant tell what kind of lift it has. He says that it has 3 body and 6 suspension and I wanted to see if yall can tell what brand suspension and what kind of condition it is in. Any input is welcome.

Heres the link to a few pics.

I like the idea of a 4wd but IMO that trucks looks just goofy and also it looks ragged out. Your truck looks a lot nicer than his! Stick with yours

Wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole.

Unknown lift, the front suspension geometry looks off, (could be just the pics, but it looks odd).

I'd wait, there's got to be something better floating around. Find a stock 4x4 and mod it yourself, or one that you know the mod history on.

But why is he willing to trade and bring cash? Don't do it. If your looking for a new used truck, look for something un-molested and mod it yourself.

"A little" work on something like that turns into a project from hell in rapid order.
