Is it a 2wd or 4wd. Mines 4wd and lowered like 5"

Ok, what is the point in lowering a 4wd truck? I don't get it, if it was 2wd then no problem, but why lower a 4wd?

I lowered mine 4x4 8" because im not planning on bashing it out in the woods but I do take it out on the sand or in the snow and mine is supercharged so on cold or wet days its nice to have the 4WD for traction.

yea i wont lower my truck but there are those who live in snowy areas dont want to jump into there ride. think of it as an all wheel drive mega station wagon for a large mom or dad and a large family. not that outlandish really. i have been toying with the idea of buying one for the wife if i ever get around to lifting mine so she has an tru utility vehicle. also lots of people think it looks cool.

I just personally always liked the lowered look better, its all just personal preference. Plus my 4wd hadn't worked in a long time so it wasn't a big loss

for some ppl...if they really need a ride...sometimes that the only option...thats like asking SOL why he lifted his truck when he lives in the middle of tampa...never got it dirty...never in mud...only parks and beaches...

Sol was in Ft. Lauderdale area unless his posts were lying.

Ok JT, I can understand since your 4X4 doesn't work, I live in FL and I would still find places to use my 4wd. Beach was not one of them. LOL I know it is personal preference I just don't see the point in lowering a 4X4. That is just me. Unless you lower it so much you have to use 4wd to get over a speed bump. LMAO

Lol I only lowered it because the wheel gap looked horrible on big rims. And with how big these trucks are, my lowered height still has more ground clearance than most vehicles
