Default New to the game...'08 Lariat Scab 4X4.....Can it be lowered?

If so, how? If it's possible and without a lot of complications, what would you guys recommend? I have THIS truck to work with. If I could, I'd trade it for a 2 Wheel Truck but that's out of the question right now. I'll be keeping the Factory Tire/Wheel Combo but would like to get close to filling the Wheel wells. I like the rake, don't care if it's leveled or not. I would definately like to retain the ride I'm enjoying now. Thanks for looking....Any Photoshop Guys want to give it a go? I'd really appreciate it..........Monsterface

pretty much all kit are for 2wd and 4wd.

Pretty simple forward to do.: install the part and have it aligned
the maybe only complication is if a 2 piece drive shaft, maybe you'll need a relocation bracket for the bearing carrier..that's it.

One more question and a new recommendation....Here is a Photoshopped version of my truck with the amount of drop I'd like to acheive front and rear. I like the Nose down (Old School California Rake) attitude. It looks like I'm after a deeper drop than I first anticipated. What would you recommend now? Am I creating more problems with this much drop? Seriously, I want to do this right the first time. Thanks....Monsterface

Tony....The Tech article says that the rear Shocks need to be replaced with this kit. What are you recommending? Monsterface
