Re: What makes the true value of a truck

In all fairness (and I'm not offended at all) I disagree the value has been decreased, you may have narrowed the market for potential buyers, but I don't feel as if the value has been depleted just because it will now hold it's own against late model Mustangs, Corvettes. I realize this is not what these trucks were designed, originally intended, meant to do .. call it what you want to but I strongly feel like a professionally notched and re-worked suspension puts these trucks in a different league than the stockers. I like them both, there's just a different market out there, one vs. the other. Just sayin, if I bought your stock truck the first thing I'd do is lower it. I'd lower my lawnmower if I could.

My butt, my seat, my truck, my decision. Maybe I never intend to sell mine (?) So be it. .. but I will enjoy it while my name is on the title.
