Funny thing... many of my friends/family have told they me they can't look at a stock TB anymore without it looking "funny" to them. From this I have extrapolated that lifted is the "proper" form for a TrailVoy, and that all nonlifted TrailVoys are simply malformed.

In stock form it looks too low, with the clearance of a crossover SUV, I guess normal if you have one, but once you lift it it looks low.
This is an aggressive post. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate a post of this quality and depth.

Some nice shots of my trip to the beach (Also, a shot where they film Tony Stark driving his R8 and R8 Spyder in both Iron Man movies), followed by some offroading shots from this Saturday. Enjoy!

I have my coilovers at the lowest possible setting, and it came up 3" from where stock was. But I have a feeling my front end was sagging pretty bad to begin with... The rear I have Avalanche springs with a 1.25" spacer on top..

Get one of those shots done next to a lowered one, and title it Truck Fail! Then you got your next Calender cover, for James!
