I dont understand the motivation behind lowering a 4x4 truck. Could someone bring me up to speed on this.

I live in the land of ice and sometimes snow on a dirt road with no winter maintenance. I plow it but it always seems to have a sheet of ice all winter long. I like street trucks but need a little extra help.

why does everyone lift a 2wd truck?

this is one reason why lowering a 4x4 truck is useful, also, i never use my 4wd, and no, i had no choice in choosing this truck or a 2wd truck, parents got it for me, and now i'm stuck with it and paying for it.

I dont understand why you want to lift a truck period, a truck is used to haul and pull stuff, usually. IMO I think trucks should be lowered to be able to throw a big couch from a buddy's house or other things. Reality is that its your truck do what you want and tell everyone that does say something Foff. Just my 2cents.

Hey coobies5
You said about the stock torsion keys on a chevy 99-06, What if you would order a lowering set of keys from belltech for one of those trucks?

I was looking around on truckins website and it showed them indexed differently my only question comes back to the alignment issue I had with the ford drop keys... Is there some kind of camber kit?
