Tuckin!!
All I can say is out of the 3 or 4 DOZEN cars/trucks we've dropped...haven't had any problems...maybe you guys aren't doin it right is the conclusion I come to.
Yes, they ride a "little" firmer...but that's the idea. NASCAR, F1, INDY and so on sit low because it is a PERFORMACE setup (and looks cool).
I'd like to see a truck with a 3/5/9 inch lift go around a corner at speed...doesn't happen.
This forum is "STREET SCENE" ... not "SKY JACKER" lol

A static slam is like a Harley Rigid.

If you want ride quality buy a Cadillac LOL. Myk truck being dropped 4.5-6" on 24s with a 275-30-24 tire actually has a nice ride sure its a little stiffer and you feel the road more but I like the handling and ride of it. I would do a cross country trip in it.
^^further proving the point. Not knocking it, jus saying anybody saying it's gonna ride as good as or better than stock after a static slam is wrong. Sure that's the case with most mild drops tho, done properly. I admit, it looks awesome tho. Jus all about what u want. For me bags>static slam 
and I'm not sure y anyone would disagree but to each his own right?

I'd love to be riding on Ridetech, but there is this little thing called $$$ that keeps interfering with the plans for my daily driver. My mild static drop will have suffice.

Oh I know your not knocking lowered trucks when we lower trucks we know that we will be giving up some ride quality which isn't a big deal to me. As I said my truck dropped on 24s has a really nice ride most of my buddies have lowered Chevy's and when they ride in my truck they are shocked everytime because how it
s rides compared to their truck. And yes opinions are like belly buttons everyone has one LOL.
