    x2. It's like chrome. Some like it and will deck the truck out in it. It serves no purpose other than looks. It's the same reason I dechrome. If you like it, do it. It's your truck.

    Chrome goes well w/ the Silver Mica, though mine is no hvy. off-roader. My ride's mostly on street so it's not getting all chipped up from the trail. But I did want the 'locker' for when I need it. IMO, that ride above looks good but, it just feels 'wrong' to lower a truck. :pout:I guess it's the same reason I hate seeing 90's Camaros w/ 24" rims (all-around). I mean WTF?:smack:

    If it makes ya feel good and you can live with it, do it. i havent seen many dc's lowered, actually none. my pre is stock height and i think when you put bigger wheels on em they fill the wheel well up nice and it looks good. had 24s at one time, that was overkill...22s r perfect

    Tundra racing has a kit. I am curious of the ride quality with it. I'd keep some fat tires on a 16 inch rim with it

    I respect people doing whatever they want to their truck but to me lowered Tacomas look like a big guy who skips leg day. Some look okay to me. Just not my style.

    With trucks that big, you either have to slam it with bags or don't do it at all. Static drops on large bodies don't always look right.
