Post Stuck on what to do?

Hey guys,
This is the first time I have posted on this site but I have been following it forever. I was hoping to get some opinions from you guys on what I should do to my truck. Ive been batting ideas of dropping that back end and going with a bit more of a street look... but I have also though about levelling it or lifting it a bit and going for a better stance.

Hoping to get some insight from you guys. There's a lot of good looking trucks on here so I thought I'd try it out.

Thanks!

Remove the factory rear block. You would have your levelled look and a sportier street look.

No way I'd lower a four wheel drive fx4. If I were you I'd level it out and get bigger tires. That's my next step. Just my opinion, but if you want to lower your truck you might as well trade it in for a 2wd.

I took out my rear blocks. No complaints at all with it.

Thanks man. That looks really good. Thanks to everyone for replying as well.

If I remove the rear blocks, what would be the next step to widen the stance of the truck. Wheel spacers? Or do you think just getting into an offset wheel would be best.

It looks pretty dog-gone good to me like it is. I would only change out the rear factory spring shackle and replace it with one that will lower your truck about 2 inches and not mess with the suspension at all. It's a lot easier to do.

Do What makes YOU happy...does it have the 4A option on 4WD (the "All-Wheel Drive Mode")?

Thanks man. I love it but yes I like the idea of lowering the back end to level it out a bit.
Any suggestions for wheels/tires once that's done? Something that might give a bit of a stance to it?
Thanks again!

Thanks man, It doesn't have the "all-wheel drive" mode. Just the 4x4 and lock.

Fit some Drag Radials under there and see how much room you have to lower...then go racing!
