I agree with this and im sure they do look real good lowered but not a 4wd. I can see a 2wd. Im not against lowering one but I live in Mississippi and the pot holes are the size of swimming pools. I guess im just one sided as where I think 2wd mods go lower and 4wd mods go higher. I had a lowered 91 prelude and I loved it but just not a truck and yea everyones opinion is different.

I dont agree with brushguards and aggressive tires on them as much as I dont agree with lowering them. If you level it out on the back in that is fine but look at it this way. You lose ground clearance. The frame starts hitting because of weight vs travel time on the shock. Your ride goes to hell and you lose your commanding view of the road. You have to do a sit up to get in and out of your "full" sized truck. It just plain looks stupid and childish my family we all take turns pointing and laughing at kids who lower full size trucks. It looks like humpty dumpty my kids say.One last thing its also against the law to change the org body of a vehicle atleast in south carolina. This law is put into effect on lowered vehicles because of them hitting speed bumps or high banks on public property then wanting to sue people for damages

mine is not a Limited one, but I can relate to this model since they are sort of similar. They are both luxury trucks that are all wheel drive, and they come with stock 22" wheels. Here mine is lifted but its got stock tires. I am going to upgrade to LT285/55/22 Nitto Terrain Grappler MT's

If he wanted to sell his right now with a bumper guard and his trail grapplers he would be lucky to get half its value.
Hate to bring up an old thread but just going through my subscribed threads and saw this post by you and would like to show you what our AWD "cars" are made of.

And I also took it to a few trails (no mud) just a few foot deep creeks and rocks to go up and down and she handled it like a champ. I just wanted to let you know that the TRUCK you spent your hard earned money for is an actual truck.
