Yeah, kinda surprises me that it failed so horribly, but that's what you get from a truck built with "out of the box" parts that aren't designed to do anything but look good.

all show and no go. looks to be way to heavy and under powered
I'm surprised the manufacturer of the shocks designed such a small eyelet. Looks like its 5/16ths in size. Tiny...
Other than that, the build looks pretty good.
You have to keep in mind this wasn't designed to be a trophy truck, but in the same light, the design for the way the shocks were mounted were flawed. That could of happened over a large pothole possibly. The engineer should of been fired.

The engineer was probably a 90 year old one eyed peasant in China.
Should have bought a Raptor!!
The 5000lb diesel motor doesn't help much...
What a weak excuse for a truck... ! :nonono:
I was thinkin the same thing... :lol:
bull crap i saw a chevy avalanche commercial take a harder hit than that!
What a shame, it looked like a nice show piece until they realized it had no "go"...

Was that truck built in Hazelwood MO. ?
Wow, what a piece of shit!! Did they let a 5 year old paint that ugly turd?
That sucked!!! Owned
LOL that suspension sucks.
glad to see someone catch it was a single sheer mount. But who ever designed that was a frickin idiot. All mounts should be double sheer.
Well engineered suspension.
i'd be crying like a girl
You guys need to use Google. I literally just read about this truck in detail in a magazine. Every part on that thing is high dollar, but whoever put coilovers on single shear mounts on a truck that heavy is a complete moron.
To the dude saying the coilover eyes are too small, they are sway-a-way coilovers, which I'm sure are very well engineered. The bolts are probably 3/4" or so. They look small, but the tires on that truck are 51" tall, so imagine how long the coilovers are.
To Jim, the truck makes 800hp and 1200 lb-ft of torque, so it's definitely not underpowered.
Why they decided to go over a 1' tall jump with a 10' tall truck is beyond me. So yeah, lots of fail in the design. Sucks because just like the guy said, the bed was custom and both the front and rear fenders were one-off fiberglass pieces.
