    i had a 4door silverado lowered 5 inches in the rear with 22s and helper bags and i hauled 1300lbs of stone and bricks several times.. not a single problem ever. i live in miami so there is zero off roading. that got stolen and i recently got my taco which is my first ever "high" vehicle. it doesnt matter whether you lift, lower or leave it stock, the point is you have your car/truck the way YOU like it.

    I hate to say it but I used to lower cars alot. Some bearly drivable because of it and tickets galore. But I never thought it was my thing with a truck, to each their own though, ain't my thing but they don't bother me none:eek:.

    Not my personal style, but X Runners are sweet.


    I'd rather have a lowered X than a truck with 473928" of lift and massive tires with chrome wheels.

    I had an s10 extreme for 2 years. dropped! I liked it but I grew out of that stage fast. I hated speed bumps and pot holes and I coudnt halu anything. it was pointless but, it was a style that I was into. I went from a dropped s10 to a lifted s10. lifted was so much more fun!

    however, I am now happy to drive a 1st gen taco. plenty of clearence for me and fun to drive

    I like lowered trucks. But I've never seen a DC lowered. Can anyone photoshop my Coma laying frame (slammed on the pavement)?
