Should I Lower...Example Pictures

Well as many of you know my last truck was a f150 with 37's and one of the reasons I sold it is I have knee problems at the old age of 19 so this time around I am looking to go lower and I also drive quite a bit so it would be more practical then jacking it up. I had a leveling kit and to be honest I hated it.

I am looking at going with the jdm 4-5 rear drop kit shackles and hangers to level the truck.

Stock Rake



What it would look like with rear drop 5 inches




Please tell me what you think I am digging the drop though.



On a side note heres my front end swap i had a xl grill and lights and bumper and swapped to xlt

The front is staying the same height the kit allows 4-5 in drop in the back

oh....i thought you meant like a 4/5 not 4-5" in the rear
you should bring that front end down about 2" and it'd look great and also help you getting in and out of it.

I am not sure I really just wanna level the back down and then put some rockstar wheels on it so I can still run the same tires I just bought 4 brand new rears. I think it will look good then not too dropped but yet you can still tell.

Now if I got another truck to use for work Id drop this to the ground but it still needs to e capable.

...on a side note your lowered 4x4 is sick

I agree with the 18 wheeler wheels and the one wide *** tire/wheel in the rear instead of the duals. I would also drop the front an inch or two then do the rear 5"-7" and it would look SICK!
