wtf is your problem man, if your under the stock hieght for the model truck you have your lowered And actually my truck sits lower then my friends 05 2wd reg cab xl..

It would be sweet if i could actually lowered it more, but i cant because of the angle of the cv's, Besides any lower it wouldnt even be the style im going after.

Its the ' unexpected '. People can laugh at lowered trucks all they want, I don't see ANY of the ' lifted ' trucks on this site having a chance at the track on me endless they ' monster truck ' me and crush my ride first

Then again.. maybe if we raced across a field or lawn ( long story.. I wont get suckered into that one again! Was worth the 50-100$ )

I just can't see how all these ' lifted ' folks want to bang on lowered rides when 95% of they time they are on pavement and that ' lift kit ' does nothing for them.
Lowering kits do absolutely nothing for them either. It aint like they are gonna give any kind of performance gain.

Having those blocks on your axle also promotes wheel hop. Try launching from a dig with and without those blocks, HUGE difference.


should take him on that s curve up by you



I smoked your butt with my lowered truck, hit the turns at an easy 50+

sadly i have few photos of my trucks. i sold the both of them a while ago. the photos i do have werent meant to show off the stance but the paint rather. so i found some trucks that are nearly identical.

stability control yes..... any gain in performance would just be from running smaller tires
curves are lowered trucks specialty

more than yours can i bet

and just for the record boulders are rock.... they can be all different sizes

I dont mine lifting or lowering rangers. Its a matter of personal preference. I do hate when people say their stuff is better. Its all a matter of opinion.

My truck plays in the mud haha.

Jake- rock crawlin is something that torison bars just cant do, you got like what a total 6"suspension travel.

Performance includes handling, increasing your speed in and out of turns.

haha he has more into his suspension than you, you still have stock suspension essentially besides cranking the torsion bars.

Your 200 dollar body lift isnt going to keep you from bottoming out on those rocks, dont you have some curbs to be flexing on?

Plus some trucks don't look good lifted if I tryed to lift my 93 Splash I would get laughed at off the street and prob want to go kill myself because my truck would look so dumb. This is why I choose the lowering option. I like both but myself I am lowering.

Yall know what i meant. It just made me mad when someone above said they do not know why people lift their trucks if they dont gain anything. I feel like its the same way with lowering a truck. Its a matter of personal preference and opinion. It does not make me mad or anything. Its not my truck anyway. I just dont like when the lifted or lowered guys think one is better than the other. Respect each others opinions. Pless215 is a good buddy of mine anyway.
