like i said i wasnt trying to *****, im speaking more about the issue of so many people wanting to stuff humongous tires onto an almost stock height truck, i dont get it, and there are so many threads about it, but you are right i dont need to read them but some of the titles are misleading and i still end up reading a few now and again..
I know what you mean and it took me a little while to figure out what the deal is, other than just cost alone... Most do seem to be concerned about the $$$, but why would somone want to drop over $1k to get poor MPG and worry about spending more than $300 on a lift???
In addition to the $$$, there's often also a misconception that a Mini-Lift type lift results in "More Lift" than a 6" Bracket Lift and "the only real way to gain lift is with bigger tires"... I've seen those quoted words posted on here quite a bit as well as on alot of other forums... The shame is that I have not seen them posted by someone who has actually ran both types of setups to know what they are talking about and those statements often appear to be taken at face value and out of context...
There's defintely truth there when referring to axle clearance centerline between the wheels but c'mon, how many people offroading actually dead center a hill to line up directly with their Front Diff, Transmission, and Drive Shafts while risking a chance that their eyeballing measurement might be off just enough to actually break something?? Most seasoned offroaders I've seen usually run a Tire over close to the tallest point of contact so that's not an issue and anywhere else that could possibly hit has plenty more room under a 6" lift... And how is a bracket drop really much different than a lifted Solid Axle???
Anyway, it is what it is.... Imagine working as a Vendor in Grocery Stores and having to answer "Where's the Milk?" all day long, every day... After awhile you might just start replying back with :dunno: even though it's just a couple bins over from where you're standing....
