so my three yr old daughter could climb in and out by herself. at least thats what i told my wife. i also told her that the sun was getting in her eyes so i had to tint the windows. there is no real answer to this question other than i wanted too. why do people do a 6 in lift add some 20's and drive around the city all the time? i like lowered and lifted as long as its a RAM

 

It handles a lot better than other trucks ive driven. No body roll that I can really tell going around tight corners.

 

that is very true!!!!...as long as its a RAM!! end of thread

 

Damn! I'm shocked!!!

I've been watching this thread since the OP first posted, just knowing I was going to have to step in here and break up a fight. Personally, I would have thought one of the 3rd Gen Mods or myself would have had to lock it by the end of day one!

oh yea, and as for the topic:
I personally would NEVER lower a truck. I hunt, I fish, I play hard (when I can, which is not that often anymore). I could not do these things with a lowered, or even stock height truck.
But that said, I do like the looks of some of them I have seen. I don't think they are functional, but then again 90% of the lifted ones are pavement queens, too.

I've said it before: It's your truck, your money, do anything you want to do to it and the hell with what anybody else thinks...

 

As the OP, I was also a bit worried about starting the thread. But... I really was curious if there was something other than aesthetics.

On the plus side, I've learned that a more appropriate topic would have been "Why slam?" rather than "Why lower?"

 

That's something i'd like to know as well.

 

Putting a mild 2-3" drop on a truck really isn't bad and in most cases can look really good, slamming a full size truck on the other hand looks bad to me and serves no purpose. That being said, to be perfectly honest I like the ***-end up stance that my truck has, reminds me of the way the old 60's and 70's muscle cars looked with the large radials in the back and smaller ones in the front. IMO it makes it look like it has a more agressive stance than being leveled and lifted or leveled and lowered.

 

i wouldn't mind having air bags so i could adjust the height where i wanted and slam it at night. might make it harder to steal the wheels

 

haha. no no... hes got a definite point!

 

I love lowered trucks. If I had a 2 wheel drive I would lower it.

What I can't stand is lifted 2wd. What a waste of money and it looks ridiculas.
