sorry for the repost but it would not let me edit the previous, but you should not lift a rear wheel drive

Zepplin?! You SHOULDNT lift a rear wheel drive? I hope your reffering to 4x2's only, because to drop a 4x4 is just as dumb as raising a 2wd, unless your going for a pre runner =)

Which isnt a bad idea..

But yeah, DROP IT! then tell me how you did it and what you used

I would have to disagree with these guys I think you should LIFT IT!!! it will make you different you will prolly be one of the only guys around with a lift on a 2wheel drive! i'd say lift it 6-8inchs and throw some 37's on those nice rims you have that thing will look wicked. and if you get a decent enough lift kit it will handle much better then stock. Just my idea

i'm going to say either way you go is better than stock.

but... LIFT THE 4X4's and SLAM the 4x2's

I think the current height is fine so my vote is to lift the horsepower, make some noise and lower the ET.
