it looks like a standard issue pic
be careful,
make sure you measure before you pay that much, a drop like that gets awful close to scrubing.
It'll look good if you get what you want
(i like 'em dropped)

I think you have a truck. LIFT IT!

Yep thats all we need is another oversized pickup that never sees offroading.
If you want to lower it, at least do it right and buy a reputable kit.

your stock tires will rub up front, will need a tire that is less than 28 inches tall with a 3 inch drop in front. you will be close for the rear tires, but the bumpstops will hit before the tire rubs.

RE: Lowering kits! What do you think?
Have you ever ridden in or driven a dropped truck? I once took a lowered pos Toyota as partial trade from a dude who owed me money. Dang thing about beat me to death. Rear made a pebble fell like I ran over a concrete block and the front was always rubbing tires. You couldn't turn the steering wheel to left or right lock due to tire rub. Thank goodness I found someone with a Jeep who thought the toyo was cool so I dumped that spine killer asap. Maybe not the same with Daks but I'd try to find some driver reviews, test drives, etc from others who have dropped Daks before going down that road. Hey, I'm not preaching, do what you want, just sharing my experience.

sometimes you need to sacrifice ride quality,
for me I'm gonna go with spindles and springs in front and leafs and shackles in the rear (eventually convert the rear to springs)
to lose a total of 3-5 inches. I don't mind the careful driving involved.
I like lifted but i like lowered more and i never off-road anyway
go with pro drop kits
stylin' concepts
this site Is a very good place to begin

my friend has a droped and chopped S-10...the ride is very bumpy...but its looks cool....what i would do if your going to drop it, bag it next.. with the bags you can lift it up while driving it and it will be ALOT smoother ride
