On the rear lift are the airbags and lift springs swapped in location on the axle to the frame?

Love the powdercoat!
nosir. that is where they were designed to be. springs are in stock location. the powder is a custom color, the shop ordered numerous (if not every) swatch that resembled the color and none were close so they custom mixed a color specific to my truck. they exceeded my expecations with this build. would highly reccommend them to anyone. much detail was put in that i didnt expect.

What brand lift is this and how many inches?

Also, is this stock? Ive never seen a third shock on the rear axle.

Love It. Looked at a 2020 lifted so high I could not look inside bed. Fell in love with Truck until sticker price of $96,000.00 hit husband in the face. lol
this is a tradesman, Envision Metalworks completely dismantled the truck and rebuilt it to my liking. the truck was origonally $49k and the work done was about $20k and i cant look in my bed.

Looks cool.

I have a question: is towing affected by lifting trucks this much?

The lift doesn’t affect towing other than sometimes you have to get a drop hitch to level your trailer out, but bigger tires change things. Putting bigger tires raises your gear ratio and makes stopping a little bit longer.

Simply have to ask.... why???? In some states it illegal to have your bumper so many inches off the road... how fun is it to have to literally climb in and jump out of constantly.... and oh wait what about the wife and kids.... where I take my truck, yours would roll.... why bother?

well, ill tell you. first off, i am legal where im from. next, im in great physical shape so climbing in/out isnt a issue for me, or my wife, or my kids and where ever you take your truck, i wouldnt want to go. i prefer taking it to cruise ins and shows and not mud and hills (i have a truck for that). so to answer your question why (very respectfully) because i can.
