Well people do it because it's "Their" truck and they want to build it the way "THEY" want. Personally I like these trucks at all STANCES. For me my 2wd is lowered 4.5" in the front and 4" in the back....by all means it is not Slammed but it does have a very aggressive stance. Does it look stock...absolutely not, and that's what I wanted. My K-10 will be lifted 4" when I get to restoring the K-10. So I really think it is what each owner wants out of their own truck. If you like the stock height, then keep it that way. Just my opinon.

I beg to differ...You CAN lower a truck and keep ALL of it's intended towing capacity. It is all in how you do it. You can't go full bore without doing some research. My 94 Crew Cab dually was lowered and there wasn't ANYTHING it wouldn't tow, and tow WELL. I also hauled a couple of tons of rock in this truck. NO PROBLEM. You CAN build your trucks to use....
I build my trucks to be the best of both worlds- work and play. I don't like the looks of a stock truck, because everyone can have a stock truck.
When I lower mine, it makes it MINE. Personal decision, yes; impractical? NO!
Just my 2 cents worth.
