I don't think so. The dirt coming down from the handles is very consistent with rain on a vehicle after driving through the dry Alberta dust areas. I don't see anything particularly inconsistent with a custom stretch job here. They'd need a way bulkier frame under a stretched truck like this, and the extra height is consistent with a tall frame and lift.

Edit: sorry for the bad site, but here's a 3 year old picture of another stretched dodge for you to compare with: https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/fx5uyh/this_six_door_dodge_ram_i_saw_at_mesa_verde/

Consistent with a touch of front end damage on a lifted truck running on 33s

It has twin tires which are connected at the wheel hub. You can see the nuts around the hub.

You can on the front wheels, but not the rears.

The twin tires are on the rear and there is the faint of nuts around the hub (on the right, not those on top of the hub).

That's a towing attachment - search "hidden wheel lift system"

Honestly I find the recently painted or cleaned Safeway exterior to be more convincing. I've never seen one that looks like it had been painted since 1993.
