I don't mind a lift.... But if it's jacked up high enough some ride burner can roll under it.... Someone is trying to build his ego

A rice rocket will slide right underneath a 1975 Ford "factory highboy" but I never hear anyone whining about those trucks being a dick extension when they came stock like that.

Ive had those trucks, and the tires WILL eat the fenders when climbing very uneven terrain.... Needs more room in the wheel wells.
Most people go to a tire store looking to "customize" and pick a lift size, THEN buy tires that fill up the extra space in the wheel well. Thats ass-backwards, but works fine for mall-crawlers down in the "populated" counties
You should be choosing a tire size that will give the performance you want, then lift till the truck cant eat itself when its used for something other than picking the kids up at school!

yeah pretty much.
If I see two vehicles, one with stockish size tires, but a bit of lift, and another with wheel wells stuffed full of aggressive tire, I know which one actually takes that vehicle off-road in the PNW.
most guilty of this seem to be those driving around Jeeps with the fenders stuffed full of tire, on wide wheel spacers, such that the smallest amount of flex is going to take off the fender flares. yeah, you aren't leaving the pavement in that thing.
