Default Help Me Out!!!!!!!

With all this talk about leveling a 4x2, or for some on here it's a 2x4. It has got me fired up wanting to do something to my truck. For along time now I have wanted to drop the rear, but after seeing everyone else raise the front of there trucks, I think I would like that to. I really don't want to get bigger tires, so would it still look ok to raise the front, and keep the tries I have? So help me out here, and tell me what you would do if you had my truck.

lift the front with a spacer. everybody's doing it. LOL!! i would lift the front. it looks waaaaay better. if you drop the back, itll make it look like its sagging. kinda like a girl with no *** and has baggy jeans which make her *** look like its saggy too.

never drop the rear. I'm guessing you have stock tires, a leveler will be fine without needing larger tires. If you do a body lift then you'll want to invest in some avg meat or if you do a levler and an add a leaf then it could go either way.

All this 4x4 vs lumber is about the ones that jack it 6" or more and put big ol a/t's on it. Not leveling or body lift kits.

ok, if you mentioned that earlier, id agree with you. but you didnt. i say 4x2s can be lifted, but not like a freakin skyscraper.

Level it by installing a kit in the front. Dropping the rear not only doesn't look good (IMO), but decreased the load capacity of the bed and towing capacity...
