I have very little knowledge of vehicle modifications, but I would have to imagine the handling/ride on that Ram is pretty compromised??
True. But the ride/handling of the Ram in stock form is already bad. So a little worse wouldn't hurt😅

True, but a head-on would be the end for the Maverick and its operator, ME!!:(:cry:
A head on means it comes right at you, correct?
Pay attention. See a head on coming make it a side swipe or a skip hit.

Don’t be the driver who stops actually driving and stares at his death then does nothing while it happens. I’ve seen this.

And don't yeet the steering wheel to avoid anything smaller than a refrigerator. Do your best, but don't ever lose control.

I mean, if you’re going to lift your truck at least put bigger wheels and tires on it. Hopefully that’s a work in progress.
It does look odd with the "tiny" wheels and tires.

Agree totally on avoiding a head-on!!! A glancing blow is much preferred. I might add that defensive driving in the old days would mention that, if possible, veer to your right. Many drivers about to hit you will at the last second try to get back in their proper lane. Of course, I realize that is the side you are sitting on. Really depends on how close the oncoming vehicle is to your vehicle.

Stay Safe!!

Well even with the stock wheels it makes more sense than the ‘Carolina Squat’ that was made illegal in NC a year or so ago.

I was amazed he had no running boards visible or drop down. He must carry some steps in the bed for people other than himself. Hopefully the tailgate has some drop down steps to get into the bed to get the steps to get in the truck. I am so confused!!:ROFLMAO:
I've seen a lot of people grab the steering wheel, put their foot on the front tire and use that as a step to pull themselves up

I realize there have been many photos of Mavs parked next to bigger rigs. However, when I saw this Ram truck I could not resist parking my Mav next to it for a picture. This Ram was as big as I have ever seen. My cab was at the top of his tailgate/box and the hood on the Mav could almost go under his frame. The Ram was a beautiful truck but WAY more than I need. The driver was a young black man from Texas and we laughed as he took pictures also. He had seen only one Maverick up close. Guess things really are bigger in Texas..... well not all things!!:LOL:

I have 8K miles on my EB; no problems. 30.2 mpg, 70% highway and almost always in Eco mode. Love it!!

Click on photo to enlarge it a bit.

If he drove yours for a week around town he'd probably wouldn't want to switch back.
