Default Crazy idea. Thinking about lowering my truck 4wd.

Yeah I'm not getting any younger, Wondering if anybody has lowered their truck. They sit up pretty high from factory. 2001 qcsb 4wd. Just curious what I should look out for? or if someone has any pics of a lowered 4wd truck. Now I am not saying slam it, maybe take the blocks out the back. maybe dropping the front to level it out. I think the blocks on mine are 4". They were on it when I bought it.

I am going to have to disagree here. Although it may be a good idea to lower your truck, I don't think it will look as good and I also believe it may alter the way it is driven. This is my humble opinion only though!

Well I haven't done anything yet, I usually am also a lift er up, and roll on some big tires. I'm getting rid of my truck anytime soon. My knees definitely aren't what they used to be, Been in construction majority of my life. And I'm also a bigger guy on top of that. So thats why I was even considering dropping it down a couple inches.
