    I, like a dummy didnt read your build thread, I should've noticed it was already force fed. I am lowering my 4wd superduty/cummins when I get the motor swapped, and my gofast goodies added. Your truck looks good.:burnrubber:

    Fawk! You spent 850 to lower it? It looks nice. I had a blue car like yours n had the black wheels, good scheme.

    I don't think lowering a 4x4 is a good think on a truck. I mean, at this point. Why not a Subaru? :confused:

    However if you change the rims like Whipper said. It would work. Right now its looking odd.

    Then again, this is what makes it fun. To stand out and be different. When I did my mods, I had to love and hate thing going on.

    Enjoy and Have fun moding!     ​

    Anyone else notice that all of the off road parts got ditched except for the skid plate? Just seems like an odd thing to have on a truck you deliberately made lower to the ground...

    But then again IMHO if you want to lower a truck, why not buy a car? Trucks are not the only vehicles with 4X4. Just my 2 cents.

    Not my cup of tea, But it really doesn't look bad.

    I like the stance. And if you need 4X4 for snow or some thing you still have it.

    Now I may be taking a leap here, but I think the OP has no interest in offroading anymore:rolleyes:

    Why waste money on another vehicle when he could just put a little bit of money into the truck and make it a cool vehicle?

    Thats my point, no off roading means no use for a skid plate. Granted the stock skid wouldn't do much anyway.
