Stock, dropped, or slammed?

Getting bored. Moved to a new apt. so still no garage to work on the fleet bed yet... but I can still play with the truck in the parking lot... so... been thinking about it... what's everyone's thoughts on a 2/4 for my truck? Leave it stock? The slammed pic is for fun, I definitely wouldn't do that. Rims and tires STAY. I have no funds for anything different, plus they only have 8K on them. (Been here almost 4 years and this is my first poll )

Thanks all!

Re: Stock, dropped, or slammed?

I know i'm in the minority here, but with those tires, i think it looks best at stock ride height.

I like the 2/4 drop quite a bit too, i just think it would look better with some lower profile rubber that way though

I like the slammed trucks when they are done well, but i have gotten tired of them - mainly because of all the later model stuff i see running around with hardware in the bed and the rear end drooping 6" lower than the front

Re: Stock, dropped, or slammed?

Well mine is 1/2 way to slammed and its a hot rod truck...always will be. (even when the truck get lower it will still be a hot rod)

When you go lower...you will be happy. After you go lower...you will get tired of it and want to go even lower.

I think hot rod is in the wheels...and trim.

Re: Stock, dropped, or slammed?

I like the look of dropped, but I like the ride better stock. Mine is lowered with springs, and I wouldn't recommend it. It depends on what you want to do. If you like the soft ride, leave it be. If you want it to corner better, and have a little firmer ride, lower it. I do think your truck would look killer dropped...that was my vote.
