Wouldnt you just buy a car if you wanted something to scrape the ground? Rednecks lift theirs to see who can go theough more mud, but lowering has no benefit

There's a legit purpose to dropping the shackles on the back end to level it out with the font end of the truck and then there's an obscenity with the act of making a low rider out of a truck.

It's all just a random lottery of meaningless tragedy or triumph. There is no meaning, no good, no evil. No fairy tale endings like in the movies. No nothing. To be in denial of the one and only truth is to delude yourself with the opiate of assigning value to the senseless. It's illogical and it's harmful to yourself because it sets up false expectations.

Jesus, that's what I'm talking about. Trucks that low is an obscenity that's just basically douchebaggery if you use that for everyday purposes.

My truck is leveled, i think it makes a cleaner look, but lowering to the ground to where you cant go over a speed bump is just idiotic

I haven't seen a lowered truck since the 90s FWIW. Are you guys saying you see them?

I evened the stance of my last truck with a 2/4 drop. That with the Goodrich tires and performance mods to my 350 made it look great and runs great...

And I was still able to pull with it and use the bed for hauling.

Just how low are you bitching about?

Here's my old truck.

Idling with aftermarket cam

Had a 2"/4" kit and air assist in the back so I could still tow. Towed jet skis and a boat just fine. Only thing I couldn't do with it vs. stock height was go off-road, which I don't do anyway.

On 17s just before I sold it:


On 20s, how it was most of it's lowered life:
