Technically one should punch oneself in the face for thinking about lowering a 1st gen. I've seen it once and it looks like...not too good.

Why? It's his truck, so why is your opinion more valid than his? I personally hate the way lifted trucks look, but I don't say anyone thinking about lifting their truck should just run it off the road. It's their opinion, respect it, whether you agree with it or not.

OP, sorry, I don't know anything about lowering trucks, as I prefer mine stock, but let us know how the progress goes. By the way, some pics of the truck would be nice.
