Lower it or not

blk350on20s · Nov 7, 2012

Hey guys. I recently purchased 4400lb springs, factory swaybar links, trac bar bracket and pitman arm. Im looking to drop it and throw some 305/45/22s on it. Should i follow through with it and lower it for the winter? It will 100% go back up at the end of March for the ski mountain hill climbs. Just kind of looking for a change and am having mixed thoughts.

You guys will help me make the decision. Thanks. Ryan

You must have a lot of spare time on your hands to be able to lower it and then lift it again. J/K bud.
I say leave it lifted.

Boooo on lowering a 4x4. Just my personal opinion, but a lot of them do look nice.

to much work to lower it for 4-6 months and then lift it again

leave it alone it looks awesome like it is now

Lol. It would literally take me 5 hours to drop it.

Do it, see how you like it. It's not that hard to do.

can you post a pic of your truck?

Best one i have thats up to date without the paddles on it

SouthFlstrokin' · Nov 7, 2012

Yep lower it

Here is what it might look like lowered. I didn't drop the front just the rear. I have 305/55/20 Open Country A/T's.

4.5" instead of 7

blk350on20s · Nov 7, 2012

Jonnydime. That looks sick. It will see now lower than 7" if it doesnt go below stock. I run paddles in the summer as well as travel the full length of suspension.

Lower it. You'll like the handling
- this is gasser shocks and no rear block

Oh my lord!!! What size tires? What kind as well

Lower is better, same height and same size tires before I lowered mine. Love it now. Soo much better for a Dd.

lower but 20s instead of 22s.

LOWERED.

You'll love the handling......and the truck will feel so much faster.

I vote lower. Lifted trucks looks sweet, but usually ride like chit...

I am impartial to trucks being lowered with 22s. I like trucks lowered with 20s. But im not a huge fan of the really low profile tire you have to run to make it a 33" tire on the 22. I think itll look sick. Mines getting lowered when its time for new tires!
