Re: Why lower a truck?
I'm not sure about putting much monetary value on lowered/lifted trucks. In my experience, when people sell them they ask more because it's been modified, but end up selling for less. If you're buying a lowered or lifted truck, you can usually spend less than for an unmolested one. So if that's what you want, buy a truck already done and save the money.
The problem I see is that a lot of trucks (and cars too) are modified by people that don't have a lot of experience or training. For example, how many people know what the holes in the spring pocket on the lower control arm are used for? Or can look at an alignment printout and say exactly what needs to be done? How many people set up the driveline angles properly? Or know why the angles need to be properly adjusted?
The engineers did a very good job designing these trucks. Modifying the design might work most of the time, but will it work as well as the original design?
