I dunno, seems like a lot of work, but if you do it, go all the way?

Are you leaving clearance lights on it, mud flares??? Is it 2 or 4wd?

I've never liked a dropped truck... I can't life the front of mine yet, but I can't bring myself to drop the back... yet. If I dropped it all the way I'd be afraid of trying to use it to tow things, the whole reason I got a truck... lol.

its a 4wd wouldnt completely slam it but probably around 2-3" lower then stock height to keep the 4wd functional. dont get me wrong i love the lift but with the 4.7 under the hood gas milage blows and i never wheel it anymore. i go on the beach 2-3 times a month to fish thats why i would keep the 4wd working. i dont know what i want to do guess i just needed to vent this out and see what others thought. i know lowering a 4wd is agaisnt the rules but id rather have it a little lower and make it a somewhat speedster. just getting opinions on this and see what others think

There is no rules In the end it is yours and only you know what what you use your truck for. Now or 7 years from now.

Everyone has a opinion but that's all it is , an opinion.

i know the flares are already off, but what about the clearance lights? i think those would have to stay right? a lowered truck with clearance lights = no no.
