Default Lift or Lower

I cant decide Should i throw on a 2-4.5'' lowering kit,just do the rear shackles or raise the front a couple inches!? Either way i want to get rid of the factory rake, being a 4wd i am leaning toward raising the front, I tow a 20' bow rider a LOT in the summer dunno if i would even be able to do that with the rear end that low, im sure it would look good either way. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or opinions.Name:  047.jpg

For the love of god, level it by lifting the front.
Lowered 4x4s are as useful as a Honda Civic off road.

Also, how low does your rear end sag when towing?

Lift the front, keep it looking like a truck! You should also get bigger rubber as the ones now look a bit small for the ride.

Lowered 4x4's are like neutered pit bulls.
