Self-esteem problem

Hey all! I am having a breakdown and need to talk to my most trusted support group, the TDR!

I keep feeling like my truck is inadequate! I just put 285 tires on and it seems bigger but its still stock height pretty much.

I see all these lifted Duramaxes and PSDs and my truck seems small! I will lift it when money comes around but not more than 4 inches. Like I said, all these huge trucks come around with 315s or 35s and 6 or 8 inches of lift. They may be pointless but do look nice, I must admit.

Is the reason I see more lifted Fords and GM/Chevys lifted because they have to make up for their engines being inferior to the mighty CTD?

I wish I was joking but it really is kind of bothering me! CHEER ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
