I don't get why people do that. Yes, there are people that use them and are functional, but it's mostly for getting through deep swamps and rivers. It just looks ridiculous if you ask me. And you don't even see many lifted trucks in the Kentucky-Tennessee area, mostly (from what I recall) Indiana, Florida, and a couple New England states are the ones with all the lifted trucks.
Edit: And I also seen a truck just like that second Silverado yesterday, all I could do was laugh!

I think they look awesome. Granted I'm not big on the ginormous lifts but I still like them. Nothing questionable about them.
Personally for me I wouldn't go much over a 4 inch lift and 36's but that's me. I also don't like they did it to newer styled turcks. I looks better IMO on old ones.
This is about the limit for me though.

Becuase people like me and my friends like to go mudding and throw it around. Going through a 20 foot pit of mud is more fun than you think. Open all your windows, blast some music and whip it around. Try it sometime. Call me a redneck but I think it's a hell of a time. Partying, bonfires, beer, the whole 9. Especially loud ass trucks. Lots of them.
Eventually I'd like to put 44s on the truck we have. Not in the budget right now.

It really sounds fun and I'd love to do it but in reality you don't really need a lift like almost all those trucks posted (I find the
Also, why do you need this:

Some people just tend to like the looks. I do know several people with lifted trucks that don't mud and I tease them about it quite frequently. You have to remember though, a lot of those who do lift the truck do mud. As far as the pictures you posted, tire size, lift sizes and other things can play a huge factor in what you can, and can't go through. I'd say that Durango would easily get stuck faster than the S-10 in the same depth mud. Reason being is there is much more overall clearance in the S-10.
I comes down to want you want. I think trucks look much better lifted (within reason obviously). I do agree that you shouldn't lift it too high if you don't intended to mud but I have noticed that you have a better field of view up in the air and driving through snow storms with plow lights on can help you see.

Agreed, it's just like lowering cars really, there comes a point where it might be useful in certain circumstances but definitely not practical, and then there's the extremes of just being plain impractical and exaggerated for the sake of looking good or just because

I agree with this also. It works both ways as you said.

Most likely done by a stoned mechanic. Great craftsmanship but only the person who did it understands why...

Yeah, I've seen plenty of cars with eyelashes. The day I see a Dodge Viper with 'em is the day I facepalm so hard my hand goes through my face, through the wall and slaps Kim Jong-Un...

Eyelashes on a car should be a crime. I mean a proper one, with a hail sentence and everything.
