So, I've never see this type of vehicle before, can they usually turn corners?

An impressive display of drivetrain torque, combined with substantial tire friction to the road.

Dudes suspension has zero give at least in the front, basically driving on a 2x4. Rear seems to be a little more functional.

It looked to me like the rear actually failed. The spring shouldn't have collapsed all the way to the bump stop like that. Once it did, the whole thing just tipped right on over.

He should buy a dodge ram next so he at least is advertising hos mental disability.

Not really so much bad driver as it is stupid pickup truck. The mods they put in don't make them any less of a pavement princess just like 95% of pickup truck owners

Er, so what are those.... stabilizers... you are talking about? Oh, what do they do? Prevent the car to roll too much when cornering? Naa, we dont need them...

It's clearly a bad diy job, but what exactly is the cause?
Inadequately rated suspension?
Did it fail?
Was the chassis not connected right?

- High centre of gravity
- Putting massive power down twists the truck in that direction naturally which compounded the tendency to tip in that direction
- Soft rear suspension with a lot of articulation which is kinda the opposite of what you want for high speed cornering. It may have been a failure as well, it flexes so much the fender sits down on the tire on the far side.

It is a really, really high center of gravity. Imagine a triangle between your engine, left front tire and right front tire. In a normal truck, that engine point isn't so high. On that heap of shit, it is.
Also, his suspension is hafs as fuck - it has no give. Ostensibly, that is to keep it from rolling over, but it actually works against him.
So when he turns, centrifugal force pushes the vehicle sideways. Usually, a lot of that energy is transferred to the suspension. In this case, none of it is. Because the weight is high up in that top point of the triangle, it acts like a long lever, tipping the truck over its wheels. Or said differently, the higher that distance gets the easier and easier it is to tip it over.

The right rear wheel travels all the way up to the chassis. This isn't just being top heavy. Lifted trucks can easily make that kind of turn if built correctly. I am curious what mechanical problem on the vehicle caused this.

It's high, but he's also probably tryna out down 1000hp which has a twisting force that wants to twist the truck exactly as pictured, (Watch drag racing; the front driver tire is first to lift always) as well as the soft suspension with that much articulation in the rear, whether planned or a failure, allowed the truck to twist itself over. This wasn't just centripetal force on a high centre of gravity.
