YES me

added traction is needed, not added ground clearance or suspension travel.

I guess I stand corrected. IMO..a 4X4 is for lifting and a 4X2 is for lowering..

but hey..what do I know..

girls know alot. and they learn alot also.

see here is my thought a truck is a truck... 4x4 or 4x2 people lift 4x4's, people lift 4x2's(desert pre-runners), why can't people lower 4x4's?

all kinds of people are hating on those that want to make their trucks unique in their own way.

McGaughys make high quality drop parts....My last 2 Dodge both had McGaughys drop products under them...I dont like DJM because there quality isnt the best and they have had issues with flip kit failure....Here is my McGaughys 2/4 deluxe drop kit, with belltech nirto active shocks,air assist bags, c-notch,belltech rear swaybar.....Slammed 1 suspension is the cheapest I found on drop parts, and there customer service is just awesome...

We went with the DJM 2/4 Kit. I've heard that you can't have the 3/5 kit if you have the 20 inch rims because you won't clear...something to think about. The only problem we had with our so far is on the front shocks the rubber came out. I think that was more of an installation issue though....

Running a 20 inch wheels you are fine with a 3/5 drop...They are talking about running a factory 275/60/20 wont work..And they reason is that tire is a 33 inch tire, and will cause you to rub your inner fenders.....If anybody go's with a 3/5, I highly suggest a c-notch..
