are you kidding me?? why would you want to drop a 4x4?? thats the stupidest thing.. unless you're planning on going for a 438 lsx twin turbo setup and you really need the traction help, than go for it.. but if your not, color match the front, handles and mirrors, and lift that baby 4-6 inches and add some nice wheels/mud tires... dropping a 4x4 .... thats just as dumb as whoever thought a muffler tip sounds cool on little ricers...

Well first off throttle I live in the country and have to drive 1 mile on chalk roads every day..hence the dirt lol drives me nuts too

as for the truck since I live in the country 4x4 is important..so i dont want to give up to much ground clearence.... it has crossed my mind of buying another set of rims and putting some nice street tires on for summer and putting some meats on the rims shown on the truck for snow/mud... i do want to level her out for sure...do some color matching it sounds like and i am thinking 06 hood and grill will ss bumper... how does that sound? THANKS FOR ALL IMPUT GUYS
