ON the front heck NO!!! on the back theres better ways to go. Offroad can still cause lots of problems think of the stress the front end is in while plowing through the mud and rocks and stuff. Some owners dont have a choice in using blocks though. My 2004 Dodge 2500 6in suspension lift came with rear lift block and in 2004 was the only option for it. Now they make after market springs but not then and the new springs degrade towing abilitity. But my blocks are only 2 1/2- 3 in tall so not that bad. Hopefully folks will grow more common sense!

Thanks for the shorting Chris. Wish I could do that to myself at times...
It does look like tubing stood on end. And someone is selling this truck to the public, I'd be afraid of an accident and lawsuit.

And to think that that truck sold for $11,000 on E-bay. YIKES! Someone is in for a real suprise when they go to drive it home.

I talked to this guy a few weeks ago about a truck and he says he makes quite a few trucks which means theres a bunch of these missiles driving around. So if anyone sees one of these trucks from New Jersey id double check it.

A little off subject here,
while looking thru the pics I noticed his heater was under the hood. Is this a common conversion?

Yeah and I think if you look at the pictures on Ebay hes got a few of the identical truck sitting in the background. I believe hes out of Hammonton NJ. They look awesome but looks are nothing if you end up wrapped around a tree or hurt someone else.

Here is the paragraph of Michigan law regarding lift blocks.
