What's the point of lifted trucks? I don't get it... They're too big to do any wheeling (trails). Only good for mudding and 95% of the owners don't even take it mudding. They don't really serve a purpose besides being pavement princesses. What are your guys opinions on this?

My opinion, is i wish i could go with a larger lift. 4" Rancho lift isn't enough of lift for me. I don't do trails, just mudding. I guess i'm that small 5% that gets my H3 dirty. :)

A bit of lift and bigger tires can really help with offroad clearance. It's the guys with huge lift blocks that start to look goofy.

Some vehicles just need a lift to look correct. For example, a stock Chevy Avalanche looks almost lowered to me, with tires that look too small and no offroad clearance. Add a proper 6" lift and you can fit a set of 35" tires, gain a ton of clearance, and look great. Sometimes it's form AND function.

I personally think a lift in the 6 inch range with 35's-37's make a truck look like a truck should, versus what comes from the factory, just my opinion :D

I've been through tons of mud and this is the worst I've gotten

And that muddy water in my fog light was a bitch to get out.

Alabama mud consists of thick clay and cow dung

Haha damn.... drive over to georgia and I'll show you a few spots to get real muddy. It's all fun and games until you have to wash the mud off

my first 4x4 was a 74 Blazer that I lifted 16" and ran 44s under (mind you, this was 1987, so I really was pretty much the tallest thing out there).... and here's why, I loved digging deep furrows so my buddy in his CJ-5 would have to walk out. the back story - He kept on me about how his Jeep "just walked across the top and wouldn't get stuck in the ruts I created"... uh, no, but it did a pretty good titanic impression :shame:.

I must have made an impact on him, because for the last 20 or so years, the shortest truck he's had has been on 38s...

How many trucks/cars do you think you've own since your first car?

The mud here in Indiana smells like swamp a** haha. Plus it depends on how soupy the mud it, it its mostly brown water, its just doing to run off. Corn field mud will get ya covered in mud along with old corn stalks haha

The gentlemen that owns this rig is in the army. Granted, he cant go down tight trails, but he wheels in it quite often and is pretty much his daily driver. Mud, sand, and some rocky trails. Note, this picture was taken when I was running 33's, but this beast just towers over my rig.
