I pretty much like everything better lowered, but your truck looks great the way it sits.

I'd slam it if it were mine, but the ultimate decision is yours. Good luck with it which ever way you go. :D

I don't think lowering it that much is needed. I agree it looks good the way it is. if anything lower it no more than an inch in the front only

It does not matter what you think, it only matters what you do about it!

but seriously this one is my sons it is lowered about 3 inches and you will give it up some ride by doing this. We live in the piedmont area of nc and this truck has made several trips to myrtle beach and gatlinburg and so has my blue one

I'm a big fan of the lowered look on ALL slicks, however there are some combo's of wheel tyre + colour that just look cool as they are. Most black slicks look cool just being black and I think yours is one of them, so I'd leave it as it is!

You could always just reset the springs a bit lower + cut a coil in the front, that way if you don't like it a set of secondhand springs is all thats needed to put it back where it was.

I like it the way it is. But then, I'm not a big fan of the lowered look.
Very nice truck, by the way.....

YAY Foodstick!!! 'bout time somebody hit it with a photo-slam.

There's no way to tell without having something to look at!!!!

Personally, i dig it, but being i like to use mine as a truck too, I would (and WILL when I do the deed) make it able to resume a normal-ish height.
