The size of the truck and lift-kit is inversely proportional to the size of the owners.......(fill in your own idea here)

That's cool. What you gotta' do is make some fold away stairs like on a plane. You know, so when you open the door it looks even cooler when stairs fold ot from the underside. Or this is cool too:

Can even park itself so you can...I don't even know what. Something else.

Very cool. It reminds me a little of a Jeep CJ-7 I helped a friend build. It was an improvisational project that ended up with a Chevy 350 V8 on nitrous, Chevy 1/2 ton truck axles, and 39 inch tires. He could barely climb into the thing but it was great for the restaurant drive through and mud bogging. ;D

 Down here we still call that a lift kit, a spring lift to be more precise. There are also body lift kits, which only lift the body and don't alter the springs or driveline.
 On the Jeep we did a new set of springs were used to raise the frame 6 inches and we mounted the axles on the bottom of the springs rather than the top which added another 2 or so inches of lift. The normal mounting on Jeep CJs has the axle on top of the spring. We also had to alter the driveline, lower the steering box, and lengthen the steering shaft. Anothe friend had a Toyota H-Lux with 44 inch tires. He took different route and lowered the engine and transfer case for proper driveline alignment.
