You Won't Believe How Tall This 50" Lifted Mega Truck Really Is - How Do You Get In???

DMD Offroad’s “High-Roller” mega truck isn’t just another lifted ride - it’s a 50-inch monster that makes you question the laws of physics. When the crew from 1320Video rolled up to check out this beast, they brought along their buddy Todd from Australia who was experiencing his first taste of American off-road culture. Let’s just say this wasn’t your typical welcome to the States.

The High-Roller started life as a project between Chris Prestige down in Louisiana and the talented fabricators at DMD Offroad. Prestige got the cab work and chassis sorted, but it was Jared Kirkendoll who really brought this nightmare-or-dream to life. The amount of hours this guy poured into the paint, body work, and finishing touches is the kind of dedication that separates weekend warriors from true builders.

Standing next to this thing gives you serious perspective on what “lifted” actually means. The bottom of the door sits level with the bottom of THE ROOF of a regular pickup truck. That’s not a typo - you’re literally looking up at the door handles. The cantilever step system drops six feet when you hit the remote, because apparently regular people need some way to actually get inside this rolling skyscraper.

Under the hood sits a 6.7 Cummins that’s been properly deleted and tuned. Nothing too crazy on the power side since this beast has other priorities than drag racing. The real engineering wizardry happens underneath with 26-inch travel shocks and a suspension setup that somehow keeps this thing planted when it’s crawling over obstacles that would swallow most rigs whole.

The wheel and tire combo tells its own story about commitment to the build. Each wheel started as centers from old loader equipment that were completely rebuilt. The tires alone weigh enough to make your back hurt just thinking about mounting them. The original plan called for even bigger rubber, but apparently there’s a point where even mega truck builders say “maybe that’s too much”.

Watching this thing move through terrain is genuinely unsettling if you’re not used to mega trucks. The center of gravity seems to defy everything you learned in physics class, yet somehow it just keeps rolling. The cantilever suspension works through obstacles with a fluid motion that makes you forget you’re watching something that weighs as much as a small building.

What really stands out is how the DMD crew treats this monster truck like it’s just another day at the office. They’re already thinking about the next build to make people question what’s actually possible with enough welding rod and determination. The High-Roller might be the star of the show, but it’s really just another step in the ongoing evolution of mega truck culture.

For anyone wondering what American off-road culture looks like when it’s firing on all cylinders, this build pretty much covers it. Big power, bigger suspension, custom everything, and the kind of engineering creativity that turns impossible ideas into rolling reality.
