Gawd, please don't lower it. That knocks at least 50 IQ points off the owner's intelligence in my book. Either that, or I'm really showing my age :-)

I am biased a bit. Had a '76 F100 2WD where blocks were put under the rear leafs, doughnuts under the front coils with appropriate I-beam bending for wheel alignment, black standard steel rims, and 60 series tires all the way around, which along with a brush guard, light bar, and cherry bombs, made it look and sound like a baja truck.

i agree the only time a truck should be lowered is when it has 2000lbs in its bed and its squatting

Don't lower it. Either lift it or level it out.

A lowered full sized truck looks like crap.. ITs a waste of a good truck. Level it, lift it or leave it alone.
