for all the people who say its gay to lower a truck may i ask why?
is it that it cant haul the same load? because they can and can usually carry more
is it because they have a lower center of gravity making it more stable?
untill someone can give me a real reason besides more ground clearance (honestly how many of you have dragged your frame on something while using your truck for what its made for...a work truck ) im gonna keep dropping them

I don't think I would ever do it unless I had a lot money because it takes a lot to make it right, but if I did it would definetly be like this.

Now it may be true that the air bags will increase payload capacity, but are you really going to take a truck you've spent all that money on to work at a farm or construction site?
Mostly it is personal opinion. I think the big boy trucks should be left to those of use who use them properly. I don't think I'll ever be able to get over the silliness of a white collar Joe using a SD as a daily driver to the office, though I'll make an exception for the guy who has a heavy camper or boat and does not see any sense in having a $45,000 truck sit five days a week.
Additionally, the red blooded, gun owning, country boy dairy farmer I am hates the whole "gangster" culture. Rims and a lowered truck? Screams wannabe gang banger.

Who offroads a dualie anyways? I think lowered dualies look fantastic, and there is nothing "gangster" about a diesel F350...

Farmers? Construction workers? Ranchers? The 350 DRW are offered with 4x4 for a purpose I would imagine.
Heck I take my Kenworth T800 and Mack CH600 off road and they have 8 sets of dual wheels, counting the trailers......
But a lowered F350? Looks like something in a rap video to me.
