I personally think that jacked up trucks are ugly. A lowered one ton or 3/4 ton drag/street truck is a good looking truck and serves its purpose. No need to try and run some one off because of your opinion, the man asked how to go about doing it, not if you liked it or not.

What purpose do they serve? Identifying the owner as a queer? I never said anything about jacking them up; most folks seem to take that too far and ruin the handling, but for folks that USE them, it makes sense. Personally , I really don't think I'd go over 4".

It helps reduce drag and for the people that USE lowered 4x4's for drag racing, it makes sense, plus they have the added traction of 4wd.

The thread was almost three months old when you brought it back up to bash on someone for their personal preference. In my opinion 87-91 F-150/bronco were the worst looking front end Ford trucks had, but I didn't bring up one of your threads to tell you that. Just saying the OP must of liked lower trucks enough to ask about it.

I bought my truck because it was a hell of a deal and for what it can do; looks never entered the equation. If I were worried about your opinion, I'd probably do something about the rust.

All I am saying is that everyone has their own opinion, and they shouldn't be called an "idiot" or "queer"(unless they actually like men, but that's a whole different story), because their opinion differs from yours.

I like my lowered 4x4.

Thanks for all the constructive info.from some of you. I use this truck for work and I pull a trailer to the race track thats why 4X4 is handy. But the climbing in and out of the back for work is a pain. I still have't done it yet. Wondering if air bags on the front would do the trick. The rear I think can be done by just removeing the spacers under the leafs
Thanks

Yo man, I personally wouldn't lower my truck, but I've seen some pretty sweet dodges that have been lowered to the ground to the point the frame can drag. Just ignore Spurrit, the way he speaks makes him sound uneducated and childish. So until he is PAYING for your truck, his opinion makes no difference. Let him sit behind his computer screen getting off on bashing other peoples rides.
