I guess my main battle is I dont think a lowered truck fits me but it would be more fun to haul *** in.

Its a heavy truck and is not going to feel like its on rails or anything dropped(none of them do). It looks good lifted but I think stock height with some more street friendly tires (lighter) is what I would do. I think it will look good dropped but the function will be cut down. I wish mine wasn't lowered from time to time.

Im going to go ahead and buy cognito UCAs to help with the tire wear problem and roll the 35s till they are done and hopefully by then I can make a decision. I just read earlier where pontiac released the G8 GXP so...

leave it, it looks nice as is. I like the idea of the G8 GXP, for fast. It's a truck and looks like you use it as a truck from time to time.

For the matter at hand, IMO it's a matter of practicality. What's the main purpose of the truck and what will it be used for. I like a diesel both ways, but if it was mine it would depend on what I was using it for. 1slow01Z71, I think your truck looks great as is, but you're the one that's going to be driving it. Good luck either way. I guess the upside to the whole thing is that it will haul no matter what.
