Stock or Lowered you decide
This is my truck I wanted to get your opinion on this. Do you like it better Lowered or Stock. They are both the same size pic. The only things changed was the height and color. I have been thinking about this for a long time now but could never vision it in my head lowered. So I sat down and made this pic to see what looked better. Let me know what you like and why thanks.

I kind of like the lowered look but if you bag it you can have the best of both worlds.... LockDoc

Re: Stock or Lowered you decide
I voted "lowered" but to me your pics looks more "slammed" than "lowered."

Re: Stock or Lowered you decide
I voted Lowered, but I prefer just a few inches below stock. Not a big fan of the "slammed" look.

Re: Stock or Lowered you decide
You should bag it with out drop spindles. So it doesnt lay frame, but it is low.

Re: Stock or Lowered you decide
lol this will be a debate forever.
now do not get all offended, but to me, lowering a truck, is like taking the wings off an air plane. to each their own though, if you like it, do it.

Re: Stock or Lowered you decide
What Leon said! I went with a static, 3.5-5" drop but I like the idea of the bags to get exactly what YOU want.

Thanks everyone for responding and voting on what you liked. I still want to hear your opinions if you have one. If you have a bagged truck let me know the pros and cons on the setup. If you like the way it works, had trouble with them or just plain hate them. Any info would be great.
