Well, I am in favor of lowering it, because I like the sportier look of sport trucks over the look of stock "truck" trucks. But that aside, there is nothing saying that you can't put it back where it is if you did ever think about trying to lower it, as long as you don't get all carried away making changes that can't be reversed.
I dropped my daily driver about 4/4" and recently put it back up around 3/4" simply because I didn't like it the way looked, felt and drove at the lower height. I am thinking about getting the rear back up to only 3" of drop too. So expirement if you are not certain! |

Truck69,
Sent you PM with the details, but DJM sells this kit for the rear, which makes the drop adjustable from .5" to 1.5". I had my own U-bolts and blocks made, for a few dollars cheaper than the kit. Aftermarket wholesale (famous for their "got 20's" ad) seemed to be slow at getting the DJM kit for me. I orginally went to them, right near my home, to get this DJM kit.
