I lowered my ram for many reasons. One, is that its a two wheel drive truck that never sees any kind of offroad activity. Two, it handles better, improves aerodynamics, and makes it way easier to get in and out of, and get stuff in and out of. Three, I like the look of it alot better and many other people do too. I personally hink it looks dumb to have a truck sitting almost three inches higher in the rear. If it were a 4x4, i would have lifted it, but it a 2wd, so I lowered it.

i have never liked lowered trucks, defeats the purpose of an actual truck.... if u slam a truck then to me ur converting it to a car!! cause all u can do is drive it, can haul ****, cant tow ****, cant go through mud.... not a truck to me haha Personal Opinion though!

Sure you can haul. Limited cargo. Sure yo can tow, limited weight BUT, there are no restricions on any of these if you have bags on a lowered truck as it can handle the weight without scrubbing the ground. The lower to the ground, the more of an idiot you would look towing something. it's normal to see a 4" drop hitch, but to see it the otherway around would be kinda funny...lol

I like both lifted and lowered trucks. its all how the person that owns it uses it. I hate lifted pavement queens. its just a waste. and the only reason I'm lowering mine is because of my knee. when I had it lifted, it was killing my knee jumping in and out of it all the time. and I never went off road that much anyways. thats what my 4 wheeler and dirt bike is for
