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

Lowered duallies rock, the only downside is the lack of decent wheel choices but you know the tune - Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin world go round.

As you mentioned, ground clearance is an issue.

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.
