Any pics of Lifted First gens?

Hello First gen forum, I'd like to know if anyone has any pics or comments on 1st gen lifted trucks. We used to have a 90' Ramcharger with 35's 4inch lift and it was pretty good in the mud, and never got stuck and was fun to drive. IS their any difference with a cummins under the hood besides the added power.

There's a 3 inch body lift on mine, pics are in the gallery.
That huge amt of weight over the front tires helps you claw out of stuff, but it handles a little different than with a gasser. Nothing huge, just take time to get used to it. Have fun!

Just got a 6" lift on my truck. Getting the pictures developed today, hopefully I'll have them on tonight.I'd like to go just a little higher but I'm already having to get the front driveshaft lengthened and I hate body lifts. Been in the mud a few times and it does good, just gotta keep moving if it's deep so the weight doesn't sink ya.

got my pic up. its not too great, I'll get some better ones soon. It's hard to tell the height real well in the pic but keep in mind the tires are 33's and it gives you something to reference.

So far Great looking rigs, 4-6 inches seems to be a good amount of lift to easily clear 35inchers. BTW on more aggressive treads, how long do they last on a 3.5ton diesel rig? And on the more freeway friendly treads, how well do they fair in muddy situations?
