Default To squat or not to squat

Hey just looking for some advice on something for my 98 quad cab 4x4 I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to take the stock rear lift blocks out and make the truck "squat". Just doing it for the look don't ever tow anything so that wouldn't be affected. Just looking for some friendly advice thanks y'all!

Drop the rear three inches? Why??? Keep in mind, the bump stops are integral to those blocks.

Just my personal opinion, but when I see ANY vehicle with a rear lower than the front, the ONLY thing I assume is that the suspension has collapsed and the driver is either lazy and hasn't fixed it or not sharp enough to realize there is a problem.

On a technical note, the change will affect your steering and handling negatively.
