Yeah, they are good for straight line traction and acceleration but you really have to be making some serious power to take advantage of a lowered 4WD truck (and the extra weight that goes with it).

Hmm. I kind of like my 4wd..So do a few other of the FASTEST trucks on the forum But I lament, a lifted 2wd is silly

Seriously though, lowering a 4wd makes total sense for me. I have full use of the 4wd for my annual romp to snow country and at the track of course. Nothing like blowing some shmo off the line wthout having to swap tires too.

Lowered my handling is improved like 10 fold. My truck hangs the mountain roads like it thinks its a porsche. Too each his own.

I like lowered 4x4's Us northeastern fellas that can't afford 2 rides gotta do what we gotta do. Just make sure you have a set of factory wheels with some AT's that are the same height as your 20's for winter. That way your nice wheels stay shiny and un-oxidized

Your truck is an exception, like I said in my original post. It's obviously making some decent power since it's an ECSB truck knocking on the 11's door, lol. In your case, 4WD is helping your traction, 60', and ultimately your ET.
