Thejake u should chill the f out. i'm not hating on the guy for lowering it. imo i don't think 4wd should be lowered. never said his truck was ugly or anything so don't jump the gun. and he may get through sand but i would like to see him get through a rough road with mud or want not.
You could have asked why or what not about the reasoning behind doing it but talking out your *** about the 4x4 not working etc isn't needed.
And for 95% of people that get a 4x4 hardly ever go offroad and up north it's a neccessity for during the winter but the height isn't always wanted

Eric has stated that he didn't get to choose his truck. He is a boy from the city that doesn't want to be like everyone and build a mall crawler or lifted street queen. Therefore he went the other way which isn't as common. So he had to work with what he's got.
If I had a 4x4, it would be lifted, because I lived in an area where I could use and enjoy it.
Not trying to bite your head off man, just stating it from another perspective.

well where i live there is not downtown parking garage and we don't have many lowered trucks. 95% of the trucks are lifted. and talking out of my *** is not something i was doing but when you own a 4x4 shop you don't get people coming to you asking to lower there 4x4 at least not here. and i use my 4x4 quite regularly because in florida we don't have winter so it mudding and off roading year round

Then why come in ranting about people lowering 4x4's? Should look at it as an opportunity of research incase you get an oddball coming in wanting to lower his 4x4. Now you've made an *** of yourself, and those who have done it may not have any input for you if you ran into this and needed any kind of info.

I think it's safe to say, with my dropped 4x4, i've been in a TON of situations where i'm in the mud and nasty, wet, full of potholes and sinkholes at pipe yards with over 800lbs of pipe or flanges in the bed as well. i may creep a little bit slower then a regular truck might, but i still get the job done. also, 4x4 is still FULLY FUNCTIONAL as well. I use it about once a month just to be sure it works and is capable in case i ever need it.
