Why would anyone buy a 4x4 and then drop it?

 

I definitely do not want to drop it, only level it. I can stand the rake. I just can't decide if I want to raise the front or lower the rear to level the truck.

 

I guess that would depend on where you're gonna drive it. For street duty only, someplace that gets a lot of rain or snow, a lowered 4x4 on some nice wheels could make a lot of sense and look great. The rest of us, who got a 4x4 because we do go off-road every once in a while, are definitely gonna want it lifted a bit from stock.

And yeah, IMO the stock rake is weird.

 

 

I guess it is 4WD, did not see that right away... It is really up to you. I see both sides of this argument.

 

Here's mine with 2'' shackles in the rear. I'm not a fan of lifting anything IMHO but that's just me.

 

I ended up going with 4wd because of my 22' boat, frequent heavy rains, and the annual trip to Tennessee. I rarely, if ever go off the road but that may change now that I have 4wd. Also, launching in 4wd on the street is awesome.

 

Here is my truck with 33s and 2" level

 

I'm running 2.5" lift in front and stock suspension out back, although I'd like to go at least 1-2" higher on the rear, on 33" Toyos. Sits almost perfectly level but since I do tow a lot I want to do a rear AAL for extra weight capacity and so I don't blind anyone at night LOL.

BTW- KHESTER84, might wanna resize those pics because I couldn't really tell how it looks without scrolling left and right. Truck has a killer stance BTW!!!!!

 

i had a rc 2" leveling kit on the front of my truck, had it up to 130mph, steady as a rock.

my kit is for sale, it has both spacers, and the bolts/washers/nuts. $40 shipped.
