There is no good reason to lower a truck......... unless it involves ur pinion angles bein way out....

front blocks are illegal on the street, and even on an offroad only truck i wouldnt run them.  you can prob flip the shackel in the back to get ~4" of lift. take a look in this thread for some reference- http://wegotmud.com/forum/index.php?topic=30008.0

yea lower it just to piss all these people off i would! beside trucks look gay when they are super tall...i think they do that to make themselves feel big when in reality they arnt.........
