Did I Make A Mistake Buying The Scab?

I see alot of nice lifted trucks around here but they really just arent my thing. Then when I look at the street trucks, all I really see are NICE Super Crew's.

Anyone help me out and post pics of their scabs? Thanks!!

its not lowered, but its a Scab.

if you are into lowering it then maybe screw would be the way to go, but IMO scabs look the most like trucks.
mine is the 17'' steel wheels with the scab config, i think it looks a lot more like a truck then a lot of supercrews i see around here.
6.5 bed is the way to go i think at least

hopefully i will get a leveling kit to make it look better, if not on this truck then on my 2009

edit: lets see some pics of urs!

Well, you see, I didn't lift(4''+) my truck as I feel it would be too much for my taste as it is a RegCab(I wanted a RegCab)... I felt a SCab and Screw were too big for me, I'm like 5'2'.
But I leveled it(~2.5'') and put some nice tires.., so we can say is lifted in its own proportion.

have you considered leveling it and some all-terrain tires?, it wouldn't be to much of a lift and it could improve apareance.

Of course I couldn't tell the other way around(lowering it) as I don't have too much of an eye for it, I do like them though.

Copenhagen you make envy flow through my veins....
