Its one thing to get it up....

its another to get laid!

I decided to make my show truck a lowered truck.. why? Because lifting one is much easier. And it is more common.

not necessarily. ofcourse lifting isnt as hard cuz its bolt on, you comparing apples to oranges. lifting and a drop is the same. compare bagging to SAS's

Why do you have to make fun of Buckdropper's weight?
You know the fat bastard is touchy,
and now he will surely cry himself to sleep.

I feel bad for Bucky because he is fat AND is a very unattractive man, these challenges must be very difficult for him to overcome....the poor wee chump.

To me there's nothing more attractive than a slightly lowered truck with a nice set of street rims and tires......

The thought of a nice truck literally covered in mud after an afternoon at the pit can wake me from a deep sleep in a cold sweat......

Last truck was lifted, this ones lowered (gonna be lower). I dont discriminate. But one thing is for sure, I will NEVER own a stock vehicle.

I know it is from the dark side, but my barber (who is probably in his mid 70s) owns a mid nineties lowered Chevy crew cab dually. The truck has to be only 3-4 inches from the ground and is nearly completely murdered out. Looks awesome. It is for sale by the way if anyone is interested. He lives in KCMO.

I, personally, happen to like a 'slightly' lowered 2WD (2" front, 4" rear lowering), as they are VERY practical for what I use a truck for (occasional towing and long highway trips, but primarily around town hauling groceries and goods). As I do very little off-roading anymore, a 4x4 just isn't practical for me, much less a lifted 4x4. I much prefer a good horse for my off road adventures.

What gets me are those "mall queen" 4x4s with the 6" lift, 3" body lift, multiple 'off road' lights, roll and side bars, and monster truck like tires. The only time they might even get off pavement is a gravel driveway. You just have to ask yourself what the owner of one of those is comsensating for (and you probably already know what it is).

What gets me are when the tires are bigger than the wheel wells.

Just got out of a lifted 2WD and I wanted a lowered 2WD now, so I lowered mine, not much but she is lowered, and will be more in the future...maybe.

I got a 4x4 (as my first truck because I tore up the back of my suv carrying around stuff I shouldn't have) and lowered it because stock it was ill suited for spirited urban driving. Now it handles pretty decently, it's no Ferrari and never will be, but I can rip through cloverleafs much more comfortably than before. And it does snow around here, so that's the reason for 4wd.

i've got 9in. and 38's, soon to be 11.5in. and 40's, and tow my 79 blazer and other toys pretty frequently. i've also got a buddy that has a 2500 chevy on 38's that tows a gooseneck a few times a week.

I don't tow frequently with mine, but when I do, it's a full load in the back with a trailer attached. I do use it quite a bit on the farm for loading up brush and whatnot. I'm not huge into lowering/slamming trucks, but I can appreciate the work and effort put in to it. I really really love slammed dually's on some big Alcoa wheels though. This is probably one of my favorite slammed Fords:
