    Slamming is a style, one that admittedly makes little sense to me since utility is the #1 reason I chose a truck. Without the ability to use my truck as a truck, I might as well get a sports car.

    Now an adjustable height truck where it could be slammed or lifted at the flip of a switch would be pretty sweet even if unrealistic

    In the end, who cares if someone else does something with their own free will that we don't like? Just like everything else, learn to ignore it.

    Its a realistic idea, they use air bags or old school hydraulics to do just that

    Nothing wrong with lowered trucks or lifted trucks, I like both , lifes too short to be a closed minded asshat. And if it bothers you , who cares it's not your money!

    Would that setup allow for hard driving such as wheeling or hauling when lifted?

    I wouldnt say useless. I used my LUV to haul stuff all over the place. Had stuff packed high in the bed from TX to OR, then hauled a car trailer with a Caprice to the junk yard. Not the best for trailers since it was so small (not that it didnt have enough power), but even our Taco's have limits. I saw a guy with a slammed s10 hauling a party barge once.....

    It won't necessarily ruin how you use your truck. My truck is dropped. With a notch and some new shocks, it can do everything my truck could before the drop.

    Lowered 3/4, debadged, led tails, projector headlights with hids, billet grill, blacked out windows, painted front and rear bumper and grill shell. Inside, 4 crappy 15's, suede wrapped headliner and door panel inserts, alpine double din, few painted pieces inside, and every led is either blue or white.
    Wow, still a bunch of dumb fucks on here that are too ignorant to read the post and realize that bagged trucks can be more useful than lifted trucks in some cases if done right.

    djleighk15, it's nice to see you on here. I've been following your build thread on s10forum from the start and glad we have another mini lover on this biased forum! Welcome
