lowering a 2003 SCREW

Hey guys, I'm thinking about lowering the truck. Do you think it would be better to do a 2/3 drop or 2/4 drop on an 03 model? I've seen some nice looking 04+ models with a 2/4 drop but I'm not sure about an 03.

BTW I hace 20 inch wheels with 275/55/20's.

a 2/3 drop would look great I don't like the rear being lower than the back like many people do and several people are going to come on and tell you to go for a 4/6 drop

general rule of thumb is to drop the rear 2" more than the front to make the truck sit "level"
this of course doesnt apply to every truck

i think a 2/4 would look really good on your truck and still be practical.

im surprised patman isnt in this thread yet lol

I just can't stand the rear being lower than or equal height to the front, I've got have a lil' rake when it's empty

^yeah, i mean its personal preference and its probably a little better for performance if the back is a little higher, with like launches and stuff...idk lol

if my truck wasnt slower than a civic id probably leave the rear up a little

btw OP when/if you drop your truck pleeeeeeeease take off your sidesteps, i saw a lowered f150 today with those sidesteps and i didnt like it at all
Oh and welcome to the site!
