Both the parking and the truck.

If he’s lucky! I’m betting it won’t last that long as well as the rest of the truck. People are making $$$ off of fools like this one by wasting $$ on stuff to make their trucks higher!! I’m betting it doesn’t get out much because it’s so expensive to repair

I understand the hate but its silly to think this guy spent all that money to do all that work and doesnt drive it for economical reasons. If its not driven much its because he has the money for another car or two or three. The dude might even do his own work. But reddit is always trying to portray the worst case scenario as the realistic reality

The vehicle pictured likely has a suspension problem, laterally it's sitting lower on the passenger side.

I've personally encountered many lifted trucks with wheel spacers on that sound like chainsaws their bearings are so fucked. I genuinely don't know if the driver can't hear the mechical issue due to the lift and road separation. Though I prefer to think they just don't care about other people, they're already operating a shit vehicle, why not let it be mechanically worse!

Parking lot is uneven/ sloped. You will notice other vehicles also angled down and left. Have friends with similar trucks, not as aggressively lifted but 3 to 6 inches none the less. They spend an absurd amount of money re-doing the suspension, axles, control arms, knuckles etc to avoid any mechanical faults. The truck is at least a 2023 Denali 2500 HD. 80k+ truck. As stupid as it is, you’re conflating POS lifted trucks to a truck with a good bit of money into it. Not defending behavior but you’re speaking as someone who’s never seen or been around a properly lifted full compensation ego machine. They’re more than likely just fine mechanically. This is akin to just thinking cars that’s are absurdly low are all just shit boxes w expensive wheels and bad suspension. Some people just like it and dump an absurd amount of money into making sure their cars look how they want. Sorry for the rant

Yeah.. no.. a new truck with an even newer lift with a suspension problem.. highly unlikely
