round the corner from my house is this little rim store. they turn these cars out! every week there are new POS's out front.
This one was the tallest ive seen. put a t-case, front drive shaft, and mud tires on it might have a nice rig for the trails.

There was a similar Cadillac parked at the apartments near Catawba College, had 24" wheels or so jacked up like that for a while, then I drove past one day and it was seriously sitting on black steel 15" soft 8s and 32" or so BFG All Terrains. This was before I was cool enough to own a camera phone :o
So to make up for it, here is this Caprice on swampers :lol:

After
Debbie Downer Perspective on the Donks:
These cars could ruin it for the lifted anything market because they are mostly poorly thought out and constructed. Lifted 4 wheel drives (manufactured aftermarket lifts) are generally more thought out and engineered to be much safer. When enough insurance claims are made on these cars because of catastrophies, bumper height laws and stiffer restrictions will go in affect. Hurting all parties desiring to modify their ride height. And even if they don't carry insurance somebody has to payout. So the consensus might vote to outlaw all of it.
Just a thought.
According to NC general statute 20-135.4-d, they are absolutely illegal
20-135.4-d said:
(d) The manufacturer's specified height of any passenger motor vehicle shall not be elevated or lowered, either in front or back, more than six inches by modification, alteration, or change of the physical structure of said vehicle without prior written approval of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles.
It is illegal to change vehicle height by more of 6", meaning, if they have a 5" lift, and the tire size changes by 4" thus raising the car an additional 2", they are over the legal limit and not deemed road worthy.
But section a saves us
20-135.4-a said:
(a) Definitions. – For the purposes of this section, the term "private passenger automobile" shall mean a four‑wheeled motor vehicle designed principally for carrying passengers, for use on public roads and highways, except a multipurpose passenger vehicle which is constructed either on a truck chassis or with special features for occasional off‑road operation.
As our vehicles are either on a truck chassis (trucks, jeeps, etc) or "special feature for offroad operation" XJ's etc unibody's that are not on truck chassis.
But you're saying you don't feel safe on the road beside this?
Sweet limit straps bro, take it off any sweet jumps?
that's some ugly
right there I bet that thing has some hardcore body roll. On the matter of Donks these are all over Florida its one of the ugliest.car trends I've seen. In gainesville the new trend is new Chevy trucks with huge lifts 30 inch wheels and
bright ass paint. Not excluding the numerous mall crawlers
