Poll should I or should I not?

Well due to some family issues very serious ones, I lost a chance to get something that would be a wee bit better for the level, off-road style I went with.

Tires 305/55/20's for rugged terrain are way to expensive for me. So once again I am thinking about removing the front level, and rear blocks.
If you have done this on your 4x4 I would love for you to post some pics as for me to gauge the stance its gonna be at.

For now I have done some Crappy crappy SNAGIT photo edits but you can somewhat figure it out. Im just not happy with my wheel/tire setup on a lift/leveld out truck.

This will be pic heavy, due to the fact most the pictures are bigger.

YES OR NO

Maybe someone with some photoshop skills can do this for ya.

It's pretty hard to see what it will look like with the drawings you did.

FWIW -- I think the rim and tire combination you are running right now looks out of place on a lifted truck. Based on that, I like the look of the lowered version you posted much better.

those wheels killed your offroad styling. but id say drop it if thats what you want, but take off the 4x4 stickers also to clean up the sides

Guys lol my skill arnt the best I know I posted that in the first part of the thread? But for those who have no imagination just look at the stance, try not to think about the ground where I did the color in.

Gixxer it actually looks alot like a 06 F150? WTF man?

If there were people on this site who helped out with photoshops this would have been done ALONG time ago.... Check my resume you will see that I have asked for them to drop the truck on a PS with no responce.

At the end of the day I guess its all about what the individual wants. Thanks for the positive and informative comments, I personally feel like I get no where with my wheel/tire setup in the off-road look. I should have done more research when I bought rims but this site wasn't available.

Like I said the truck has a 2.5 level kit, if removed it will be back down to factory height in the front. 4x4's come with a block in the rear that keeps the **** end way high up for towing stuff. I tow nothing actually I dont even get in the mud hardly, I just want to keep this truck in as best shape so I can trade into something better one day. My next ride will be pre-lifted and has lost most of its value before I buy .

The guys at the Ford place near me frown on my level kit because it puts the stock A-arms in a very ackward position.

O' okay man, I just needed too look at the stance. That other **** was too distracting that I didn't even notice you moved the wheels/tires closer to the body. I personally wouldn't do it, cause somehow I picture all 4X4 trucks higher. but that's just my personal opinion.
