TO lower or not to lower, it's a matter of opinion!

I often wonder why many people spend thousands lowering their truck. I love my truck just like it is, I like how she sits high and looks tough. I'm just curious if I'm old fashioned, for a 23 yr old. I don't mean to upset the "slammed" guys, but I'm curious as to why so many people do it. Is it because its whats "in" and all the magazine trucks do it? GM trucks with the coil spring suspensions ride as well as a new truck when rebuilt. If you slammed guys could answer a few Q's that would be great! I think most lowered trucks are now "bagged," does that mean they can be raised to a normal drive height? Doesn't lowering a truck affect the camber angle on the A-arms and create excessive tire wear? Does the ride improve with lowering? It seems to me that it would be stiffer due to limited suspension travel. Do you have problems with "scuffing" on bumps? My Camaro sure has that problem! Are lowered trucks true daily drivers, or are most just show queens?? Can you haul any kind of a load with a lowered truck...other than a cooler? And lastly, how much does it cost to "do it right" Also, I'm from SC and I haven't ever seen a lowered truck driving on the road here, I've seen a lot of originals running around and some nice restorations. Just wondering how pracitical lowering really is!
