You're also a stupid fuck. Why would a working man want a brotruck? you're guaranteed the lift isn't properly engineered, and now you're bed is an extra foot higher. Doesn't anyone here actually do any sort of outdoor work?
A lifted truck is just a status symbol, much like a beemer was back in the 80s, which is probably why scotty kilmer hates both of them.

You've never seen an actual working man, have you?
I lived in GA for a year and a half, and a year in TX. I've seen people who work and own brotrucks, but I've never once seen someone who's livelyhood depended on loading and unloading shit from the bed of their truck have a lifted anything. I worked in the oilfield. They didn't come out with lifted trucks filled with iron for us to unload.
>I meant the oilfield employees buy lifted brotrucks
I know what you fucking meant, that's not what I'm getting at. Anyone using their truck as an actual truck isn't going to stance or lift their truck.
>>14207830
>not adjusting drivetrain angles for lift
you can get transfer case drop kits to fix the ujoint angles
you can also get longer lower control arm to adjust for the suspension geometry
not all lifts are done improperly.
its like lowering your car on $40 ebay coils or spending $900 on race coilovers. they do not have the same result (but idiots will put you in the same category)

Look, I'm not for or against lifting a truck. it's your money, do whatever. You have to know though that the majority of folks buying lifts for their vehicles are the same guys who're rarely able to afford to do things properly. I've lived in small town, large booming towns and it's always the same young kids wanting to lift their trucks on their shit salary.
If someone has the money to sink into a properly engineered lift, they're also probably smart enough not to be indebted to a creditor paying it off should something go wrong.
TL;DR people who lift trucks and have to sell them because they can't afford them, are rarely the same people to have the lift done properly.
>>14207882
A typical lift kit is designed to lift a truck, not make it more capable off-road. I don't see where I said anything different from that whatsoever

It's like you can only read every other other other word.
but I've never once seen someone who's livelyhood depended on loading and unloading shit from the bed of their truck have a lifted anything. I worked in the oilfield. They didn't come out with lifted trucks filled with iron for us to unload.
I used the oilfield as my example of a typical labor job, where one would be expected to need the bed of a truck for their job. And no, in case you are really that thick, oilfield workers do not use their private vehicles in the oilfield.
Now, I've seen lead contractors show up in brotrucks, but that's because they don't actually work/bring supplies. Do yourself a favor, and look at what the mexicans in the crew are driving. They're the ones there to actually work.
>>14207931
It may be a hasty generalization, but that doesn't make it inaccurate. How many friends have you had with lifted trucks forced to sell them because they lost their job? Now, how many of those friends had their lift done properly? Fools and money are soon parted, as the saying goes. If you're smart enough/rich enough to afford the proper lift and suspension and sway bar/tension bars/cv adjustments, you probably don't stand to lose your truck at any moment. Quit being so defensive that you find yourself on a losing argument just because someone else made you salty.

Yup, you're one of those special children. The original point was no one who relied on their truck to perform labor (in this case, you mentioned specifically welders/fabricators buying brotrucks from oilfield workers who couldn't afford them after the bust) would purchase a brotruck because the lift and work would be shoddy, and having a higher bed for them to unload heavy metals off of is not something anyone who does that sort of work day in and day out would ever do.
I almost feel bad for even mentioning the oilfield as an example, because I thought you had enough brain cells to understand the comparison was to the work, not to the workers.
Too long, you can't read: honest laborers are not going to buy a lifted truck for their job.
Lift your truck, or don't, no skin off my bones. That said, isn't there a point where a lift becomes a little ridiculous? Like when you need a stepladder to get into the truck? Also, isn't it illegal in some states for a vehicles headlights to be over a certain height?

>>14208405
Oh I get it. The personal tastes of you and other hardworking blue collars will determine how many of these poorly outfitted trucks repossessed from the money whizzes missing a finger or two actually actually wind up for sale. Because these trucks have stupid mods and only people hauling wood and concrete will consider buying them, the market will in fact not get flooded due to recently high layoff rates of their previous owners and the banks will instead have them crushed because said hardworking blue collar folk don't want them due to use requirements and nobody else in the truck market exists.
TL,YCR; Repossessed trucks gotta go somewhere and it's usually to the auction floor then the dealer and the personal needs of a small portion of prospective buyers will not change this, and dumb oilfield hicks loving their big dumb trucks is such a well known stereotype, they literally make movies about it. Pic related, the Mac is a cruel mistress.

A car dealer is never going to let it go that low. They probably bought it for $6-7k. They would just auction it or trade it with another dealer.

My measure is that $5k even at a loss is better than an old truck leaking fluids on their lot for months on end that they can't sell.
Honestly I don't really want the thing anyway, since it's so old it'll probably need a new transmission soon among other expensive things that could be fucked, so I'll go really low and if they bite then I save a buck I guess.

>I'm surprised the market hasn't been flooded with repossessed brodozers outfitted with welding gear.
I'm in Alberta and I view the local truck classifieds daily. From what I've noticed, looks like trucks are almost going up in value, especially diesels. The market isn't really getting flooded, mainly because the ones getting repo'd are all relatively new, and because I figure the last thing to go is the truck. All the sleds, dirt bikes, quads, boats, hot rods, motorcycles, or whatever other toys all get sold cause they're expendable (sleds are SUPER cheap right now, it's crazy), but they need the truck to get to work and make money in case they ever get rehired. Most guys haven't been out of work for even a year now, so lots are still getting by with whatever little they saved with the hopes that oil picks up sometime soon.
As well, with the weak Canadian dollar, lots of guys are selling their trucks to guys in the States and taking advantage of the exchange rate.
If oil stays how it is for another year though, the market will probably be flooded and for cheap too, since no one will be able to even buy anything because the whole province will be going broke.
>>14208100
>I used the oilfield as my example of a typical labor job, where one would be expected to need the bed of a truck for their job. And no, in case you are really that thick, oilfield workers do not use their private vehicles in the oilfield.
I don't know what "oilfield" you worked in, but whatever your experience was, you're completely wrong on a lot facts bud... On the drilling/service rigs and sites I've been too, lots everyone drives their own truck, because they get paid "truckbux" for having their own pick up on site, so they'd be shortchanging themselves by driving a company vehicle. Usually the only ones on site who are driving a company vehicle are those who are providing 3rd party oilfield services on the rig, but the main core of guys working on the rig (driller, roughneck, push) have their own trucks there.
As well, driving on lease roads, especially around spring time, is an absolute mess and having big mud tires for the extra grip and ground clearance helps immensely. I'm sure most rigpigs main reason for lifting their truck is for aesthetic purposes, but it sure comes in handy around breakout time. Pic related.
As putting shit in the bed of the trucks, lots of oilfield guys just have their slip tank and maybe the occasional tool/supplies/whatever gets thrown in, but for the most part they don't need to use their bed all that much.
(btw, I understand that there's most positions and work in the oilfield than just on drilling rigs...)
>>14210693
You no longer know what the topic was about, that's cool. Go find your coloring book, and have it little tyke.
No one uses a lifted a truck for a profession. They're status symbols, like I've said before in this thread. Oilfield layoffs or not, it's not going to jose suddenly decide to upgrade his truck to something he can't lift his lawn mower into anymore, much less some mountain man trying to load up a cord of wood into a 5' high bed.
>>14212338
I was working in fracturing, so all the iron I mentioned boiled down to piping and valves. If someone brings out a 4" check valve, that's about 200lbs of iron to load into a bed, and unload. Crews were also loaded up in vans from the yard, and then driven out to location to minimize accidents/delays in waiting for dipshits who got lost. The company I worked for also had a drilling side, but they followed the same guidelines as the frac side. Hell, even the water drilling operations I've been to don't use their civies. You must have been doing some small time operations or maybe you're a canuk. They seem to do things fairly differently there.

I think you're just dragging me into an argument you were having with some other anon. All I'm saying/said is ruffneks/pipeliers tend to buy stupid shit (see trucks and or modifications) with their newfound wealth and also tend to forget they work in a boom/bust industry so when a bust happens their shit gets repo'd. I'm fully aware that many of their trucks tend to never see the rig/pipe/pile of dirt/mud hole they work on. However, I'm aware that many of them do when they don't have a company pickup to use or prefer their own. Many people buy vehicles that do not suit them or their planned use for it well. These people exist in real life (I know, it' scary). Because these unthinkable vehicles exist and are oft' owned by freshly unemployed individuals without the foresight to save their money in such a volatile profession, their big retarded truck at home sometimes gets repo'd since they blew all their money on the truck and a huge house they couldn't afford and marry a fat chick and plop out 5 equally loud and stupid kids. Because two of those things are usually owned by the bank, it's the bank that takes the truck back, not whoever laid them off. As a result of this newly discovered phenomenon, many big dumb lifted trucks suddenly enter the market as the bank ties to sell them to attempt to get their money back. When this happens, the market for used-big-dumb-trucks gets what we doctors call "flooded".

Was that you, or someone pretending to be you? Your original topic was
>I'm surprised the market hasn't been flooded with repossessed brodozers outfitted with welding gear.
To which I replied
>Why would a working man want a brotruck?
From there, you got hung up on oilfield this, and oilfield that, which really had nothing to do with the topic at hand, but was merely an example of my first hand experience with labor. I could have made a comparison to metal fabricators which I should have as it wouldn't have resulted in you getting stuck on oilfield layoffs, and oilfield workers assuming I was talking about no one in the oilfield buys them.
To reiterate: brotrucks aren't worth the money to repurpose for labor. They are there for show.
A flooding in the market would never make a lifted truck cost less than a standard single cab truck would, so that's a non-issue.
>>14213766
>From there, you got hung up on oilfield this, and oilfield that, which really had nothing to do with the topic at hand
That was probably because I was replying to this, maybe >>14207638 I mean he only says"lifted trucks" and "d-bag oil workers" but I can see how you thought I was talking about all blue collar workers that use trucks for anything, and not specifically d-bag oil workers in their lifted trucks.
>>14213461
Yep, dirty Athabasca oilsand money. It's how everyone here operates, as far as I know.
serious question. i always hear people going on about how these huge diesel trucks are so amazing because you can just add a tune and i think a dpf delete and theyll be turning out 800 ft lbs of torque at the wheels and running 10s or something ridiculous, but i have never seen one run anything quicker than maybe a high 12 in person. most modified trucks ive seen are running mid 13s and up.
i go racing at street nights at the dragstrip fairly often and some nights up to 50% of the vehicles there are heavily modified diesel trucks and there are so many there they have to switch off every 30 mins or so between letting trucks run and letting everyone else run, so i have plenty of time to sit there and watch these things make passes against each other. these people all talk so much and i have destroyed every single one i have raced. none of them ive talked to at the track have ever had a slip faster than what i can run consistently (mid 12s), yet in everyday life i hear people talking about their 11 second trucks like my little awd turbo 4 cylinder is a slow piece of garbage.
(i did lose to a truck once at the track, but it was to a supercharged v6 gas-powered tundra from what i could tell, didnt have a chance to talk to him)
can giant trucks like this actually fast or are they just 'fast for an 8000lb truck'? i understand my cars not that fast which is why i dont really brag about it, but its quick for a stock trim dd pump gas street car and i just feel like im missing something here.
>>14214199
>800 ft lbs of torque
yes
>running 10s
no
You[re not going to find a super fast crew cab full size truck easily, but you're more likely to find a fast single cab race truck. Pic related runs 9s. The tuned and deleted trucks are fast for 8000lbs and DDs, unlike anything else really with that much power. Then there's the actual race trucks that are fast compared to anything, but they're usually lighter and not DDs.
>>14214265
yeah i mean ive seen plenty of fast full race-trim trucks that dont get driven on the street, but thats different, im talking about trucks people dd. i can believe the 800 ft lbs thing, but like you said, the times just arent there.
i can just imagine what the torque curve would look like on one of those things. are they only making their 800 ft lbs from like 1500-2500 and then it just falls off a cliff and they top out at 250 whp or something?
is this the small dick thread?

A typical lift kit is designed to lift a truck so as to make room for larger tires.
For some off road uses, larger tires are generally much preferred over smaller tires. Large tires make for small obstacles.
All of you armchair offroaders seem to think that capability is linear and the only trucks you like are prerunners and Tacomas.
Prerunners are not the most capable trucks. They're purpose built for a single usage scenario. Tacomas are just shit boxes.
For a general purpose offroad truck, a small lift is preferred. For deep mud, large lifts are preferred.

Am I too late for the "Small Dick Thread" joke?
Douche thread
>>14207811
Lifting your truck makes the bed harder to access, and it makes navigating tight spots tougher. It makes the truck less practical, and all it does is make you look like a douche that needs to stand out without spending too much money.
>>14214199
I love my diesel, but you definitely have douches talk a lot of shit about how fast their trucks are. Unless its older dodge trucks, it takes some serious work to get them into the 11's or deeper. They are fast for what they are.
Most diesel trucks you run into are not going to be running faster than 13's on the 'fast' end. My fastest time with my duramax was 12.6 and I put more money into it than it was worth. You've got a lot of ignorance in the truck community due to more money than brains and...
>MUH TORQUE.
It makes it feel like it's much faster than it is. 1000ft lb is fun so most 4 cylinder for most truck guys 'feels' slower.

>Lifting your truck makes the bed harder to access
Contrary to popular belief, for most people it's no issue to lift something a few inches higher to get it into the bed. It literally doesn't matter. If this is your best argument, then you really don't have an argument. You're better off arguing the fuel savings of folding small sport mirrors in on the highway. Or the aerodynamic disadvantage of having cab lights.
Now if you're arguing that it's difficult to use a mud truck on 54s with a two foot lift for work. Well, obviously. That's why you don't use a dedicated mud truck on tractor tires as a daily driven work truck. No one does that, no one tries to do that, and no ones says you should do that.
>and it makes navigating tight spots tougher.
Lift alone does not at all make navigating tight spots harder unless you're talking about a massive lift and extreme off camber tight spots. But at that point, the shape and construction of the vehicle matters more than a lift.
On close to level ground, it makes next to no difference. and on level ground, it makes literally zero difference. "Stance" or otherwise protruding wheel/tire combos are a different story, as well as tires tall enough or wide enough to rub springs or body and inhibit steering. But the lift itself is mostly irrelevant. In some cases the lift can make navigating tight spots easier if it's preventing tire rub.
>It makes the truck less practical
Like capability, practicality is not linear. How practical a given mod can be depends almost entirely on the intended usage of the vehicle.
tl;dr: Just because it doesn't work for you or you don't like it doesn't mean that it doesn't work for others
>>14220048
>and it makes navigating tight spots tougher.
Every time I hear this I know that this person has never driven a lifted truck vs a stock height. Unless like you said it was extreme lift.

>>14220077
Not the guy you responded to, but lifted trucks are only harder to navigate in places that require a better turning radius. It's actually easier to park when you're backing in when you can see exactly where the edge of your tire is in the mirror if you have enough offset.
>>14220104
don't worry, it's ugly as ass anyways
>>14220077
>If we're all pavement queens anyway I guess this is a moot point, amirite?
Quite the contrary. It's the people that don't use trucks like trucks claiming it makes them less practical. Because if you're using a truck in place of a small city car, then a lift DOES make it less practical. The extra rotating mass of the larger tires you'll likely be installing with it will hurt your fuel economy with no gain since you're not really doing anything with the truck.
To the people that do use the trucks like trucks and have a reason for a lift, it can seem practical. For instance, $200 on military 37s can be more practical than $1200 on a set of 285/75R16s. $200 on a lift to clear those is practical since money is still saved and the larger tires can be beneficial depending on what you use the truck for.
When you hear someone say that lifts in general are impractical, you know they're not even thinking in a manner that lets them comprehend uses for a truck other than what they do, which likely doesn't require 4x4.
>>14220131
Lift doesn't affect turning radius.
>>14220131
Turning radius is only affected if you get tires that affect inboard turning.
>>14220159
Unless you're adding tires more massive than anything in this thread then it won't affect fuel economy in any noticeable way. I've gone thru many different combos never changed my economy personally.
I never understand the practical notion when it comes to diesels. Unless you are making money with your truck then they are in no way more 'practical' in any sense. The potential fuel costs are 9/10 overridden by maintenance and initial cost. My truck was about 60k when I got it.. if I didn't make money with it there is no way in fuck that I'd own it.
>>14220163
>>14220233
Some ifs lifts do affect turning radius and others require you to run wheels with more offset, which does affect turning radius. And generally when you lift a truck, you'll run a bigger and wire tire which, depending on what truck they're on, may require wheels with more offset or wheel spacers so there isn't inner rubbing. I was saying lifted vehicles will nearly always have worse turning radiuses but the change is really minimal.

>>14220048
>Contrary to popular belief, for most people it's no issue to lift something a few inches higher to get it into the bed.
Please get a blue collar job and come back and make that assertion again. I hate modern trucks because they have a higher lift than the early to mid 90s full size trucks. There's a point on your body when you go from lifting with the mechanics of your joints not being stressed, and once you pass your navel, the effort and exertion applied to your elbows, wrists, and shoulders are massively compromised as the weight now has to be applied with rotation and in a way that the joint isn't the most efficient. typical carrying height is enough to load something into a standard bed (which is why most trucks beds are the height they are) which is the optimum scenario for carrying something.
This might sound like a small gripe, 'ooh, what's an extra 6 inches?' but if your day in and day out job requires you loading and unloading a couple hundred pounds of supplies every day, you'd quickly understand why you don't see lifted trucks driving out with a crew of mexicans in it.

>>14220509
It's used there isn't a truck bed that'll carry all the equipment we use. It also makes it easier for cleanup to throw things in a trailer and dump later. If I'm going to be loading and unloading something I'd rather have a ramped trailer.
>>14220412
Blue collar here. The only time it matters is when trying to lift buckets up and over the tailgate without dropping the tailgate.
The solution: drop the fucking tailgate. Problem solved.
With anything that hangs over the tailgate, it's easier to lift with your shoulder, so being a few inches taller actually makes it easier to lift.
But you don't think about that. The only thing you think about is one thing you do or might not even do. Multipurpose trucks and versatility are lost on you, aren't they?

Nope, it was lifted through means of a torsion bar crank and that's why it was eating cv axles. A proper lift wont do that. But a proper lift costs more than 1 grand, so most hicks just do a tbar crank.
>>14220833
It's got a lift. Looks like the keys have been turned up a little bit but the angles aren't extreme. The CVs and boots look factory, the truck probably has 200k+ miles on it so a tear in the boot isn't out of the ordinary.

Also, apparently only huge trucks get lifted. I'm obviously slightly biased (or at least not blinded) because I have a small truck, but smaller trucks get lifted too.

>>14220961
Whenever I absolutely need a bed I can just use a work truck, but most of the time I prefer the extra interior space and having the cargo area climate controlled and locked.
Plus most of the fake enthusiasts ignore me since I don't have a pickup. To some people that might be a con but I consider it a pro.
With a 131.5" wheelbase, 1 ton solid axles, front locker, rear posi, seating for up to 7, 8'+ cargo area with the seats down, and 10,000lb tow rating it'll do anything I need it to.
>>14220911

Anyone who ignores a true SUV as a truck has their head up their ass. Both pickups and SUVs have their benefits and purposes - some shared, some not. Way too many people have stopped viewing vehicles like yours as trucks and has helped lend a hand in the pussification of SUVs into either a crossover of an SUV that may as well be one.
Your truck is awesome and is no less truck than a pickup.

Not what I was getting at. What I mean is: why buy a lifted truck and a trailer, when a non lifted truck doesn't require an extra expensive hitch to lower the ball, has an easier access bed, and can tow with a lower center of gravity than a lifted truck? They're also cheaper, typically last longer, and have a cheaper repair bill than their lifted counter-parts.
>>14221037
So it's just like any other scene. The only difference is the vehicle types and thus mod types.

You can get a drop hitch for a couple more bucks than a regular hitch. The expensive drop hitches are the adjustable ones, which aren't really necessary if you know how much the correct amount of drop is.

See >>14220048
It's not even worth bringing up for a reasonable lift that a reasonable person would put on a truck that they regularly needed to use the bed. We're talking 2-6" lifts here, not 9-15"
>and can tow with a lower center of gravity than a lifted truck?
Literally doesn't matter. Raising the COG of your truck 2-4" isn't going to make a difference. You MIGHT notice slightly more dive in an emergency stop. It doesn't affect performance or towing ability.
>They're also cheaper
By the price of the lift and oversize tires. If those weren't already worth the money, people clearly would not buy them. Obviously the lift and tires cost money, were you under the impression that the people buying them thought they were free?
>typically last longer
Depends on usage. If you're going to be beating on your work truck on trails on the weekend, that's going to accelerate wear with or without a lift.
>and have a cheaper repair bill than their lifted counter-parts
If a shop charges you more to change the same brakes or repair the same body damage because your truck is lifted, then you need to go to a different shop. Or, you know, do the shit yourself like any half competent person that would ever claim to be an enthusiast.
To be honest, I'm not one for the "HURR DURR, SMALL BENIS" arguments, but I've never met a single person who owned a lifted truck who wasn't defensive about it and total trash.
Oil rig workers and marines are especially bad about it.
>>14221117
While getting/building something you can't afford it stupid, and irritates me as well, it's not an issue that should be brought up every time anyone buys or does anything car related. Focus more on the vehicles and less on the people who owns them.

>Literally doesn't matter. Raising the COG of your truck 2-4" isn't going to make a difference
I'll concede this point if you can link me any truck in this thread with a 2-4" lift. I'm more speaking to someone who fashion lifts their truck, not someone who has a particular rough spot on the trail leading to their cabin.
>By the price of the lift and oversize tires. If those weren't already worth the money, people clearly would not buy them. Obviously the lift and tires cost money, were you under the impression that the people buying them thought they were free?
Speaking about the used market. Most guys buying a truck for hard work buy used knowing that the truck is going to be beat on regularly and most older trucks are still solid work horses at a much lower cost; or I guess fleet sales, which means cheapest everything. Most companies are about saving money and maximizing profits, after all.
Still standing by extra bed height needlessly makes a job harder, so it's not a sought after trait, especially for local companies in a city. There might be "a reasonable lift, by a reasonable person" somewhere in the boons where road access is non existent, but they're the rarer of the ilk.
>Depends on usage. If you're going to be beating on your work truck on trails on the weekend, that's going to accelerate wear with or without a lift.
I think we've lost the topic at hand. Still talking about workers using trucks for work. If you have the money to go out and play on the weekends, then you probably were smart enough to have a truck for your job, and a private truck that you can do whatever with. You might be retarded enough though to use your money making truck to go innawoods to mud or whatever. Not a smart idea risking your livelihood for shenanigans, but I guess we're talking pure hypothetical here.
Last point is if it needs a ladder to work on the engine, there's a fee. most working class guys can't afford to not work while they diy.

Most of the trucks posted in this thread are show trucks, not work trucks. Very, very different.
>Speaking about the used market.
Buy stock and put the lift on. In most cases that's far easier than buying a truck that's already lifted because stock trucks are far more common.
>>14224073
>I think we've lost the topic at hand. Still talking about workers using trucks for work.
Purely work use company owned fleet truck? I'm talking about multipurpose trucks. Say a POV that's wheeled on the weekends, construction during the week. If the lift and tires assist you even one time in getting your tools and material across a muddy job site, that's already saved far more effort than it takes to lift them an extra few inches. Let's not forget that momentum is a thing and realistically if you're lifting stuff all day into a bed that requires 100% effort, then you're probably doing your job wrong or just don't even lift in which case you're in the wrong field and should stick to flipping burgers.

yup, that's my point. honestly, I'm not giving you shit on your defense of lifted trucks because there's four or five in the US that are less than 4" aftermarket lifted, even though I'd figure you wouldn't consider those 'brotrucks' and thus wouldn't need to defend them when someone complains about needless lift.
>Buy stock and put the lift on.
you're not only missing my point, but you're refuting your own by concluding that a working joe is going to want to lift their work truck, and not just buying a lifted truck because it was available and cheap (they are never cheap, regardless of what you might try to argue next).
>I'm talking about multipurpose trucks. Say a POV that's wheeled on the weekends, construction during the week.
Then that worker doesn't have his priorities straight. You don't shit where you eat, that simple. Also: what sort of construction site is going to require lift to get across? If you're mudding that deep, then chances are your foundation isn't even ready and is too wet to even do anything with.
>Let's not forget that momentum is a thing and realistically if you're lifting stuff all day into a bed that requires 100% effort...etc etc, personal attack mr salt lick.
Learn about lifting before you start talking big, hombre. This isn't a gym, and not everything is ergonomic for lifting. Most things I load require slinging it up to your hips to get a better grip on it. I already posted a pic of a triple swivel for the oilfield. Those things weigh in excess of 198lbs, to 208 according to the pdf I just looked up for chiksan; and that's not the heaviest thing I've slung by myself into a bed. a 4" check valve probably takes that award.
