YES, it is a rarity. reg cabs in general are becoming a rarity these days. it would not surprise me if at least one of the big 3 manufacturers stop offering reg cabs (pretty sure nissan already has). If lowered reg cabs is your thing you should check out this thread, because that is all that is there.

Thank you, but lowered trucks aren't my thing. If I had wanted a lowered car I would've gotten a Fiesta! Trucks are meant to be lifted, or leveled. I still haven't leveled out my truck. I want to level it, but I don't want a spacer type solution.

Nothing wrong with leveling a truck by lowering the rear an inch or 2.

Installed amp power boards over the weekend. Absolutely love them. I now have a useful and functional running board.

^^^ I am also. I took a good look at them after install. If you're taking an off road drive that concerns take out 8 bolts and a couple plug connections and you're all clear. Less than 10 minutes.

The way it is in the picture is powder coat, as close as I could find to factory. But I've decided to re-do it with the actual paint
