I owned a civy Chevy with a super lift 12" lift with 44" Super Swampers.
I hated it.
I lowered it down with a 6" lift and 35" BFG's and drove it daily. It was like a completely different truck.
To get reasonable driveshaft angles with a 12" lift was achieved by using a 2 wheel drive Turbo 350 with a divorced transfer case.
The truck did look good, but rode like ****.
Allot of money was spent building it, and lots more spent to lower it down to a reasonable height.
