Default Lower a 4x2 (sport look)

Has anybody done a lowering or paid to have their 1500 lowered? I'm looking for an even more aggressive look for my Hemi powered beast. [sm=badbadbad.gif] I'm looking for prices, brands and pictures if possible.

Let me know what you guys use and how they turn out. i have a budget of about 500 bucks for the drop so I think that should cover the cost. I have the factory 20s on my BEAST now but may move up to some all black 22s or 24s this spring [sm=bling.gif]. If I do, then i will wait on the drop so it can be done with the new wheels installed.

I made a comment about this last year, but I think someone should lower a truck and chop the top about 4 or 5 inches...

that would look killer....a friend of mine who owns a hotrod shop said it would be hard as hell to do on a modern vehicle, but I'm sure someone has the ***** to try it

If I found a shop that would do it and I had that kinda money than I would definatly chop the top on my 02 QC. and then put bags on it.

Do ALL lowering kits require that you cut the truck in some way?
