Well mine is LWB but for dropped, i'd say SWB. if you just want to lower it like 2in al the way around, that will make a LWB look sleek and clean. In my opinion a dropped LWB looks almost like a bad suspension. JUST MY OPINION.

i think they both look pretty good. i like a shortboxes with a 4/6 or lower. as for longboxes, mines going to be a 2 1/2 4 drop. nothing huge, i just dont want it to look like a 4by4 once i get 22's

I think it depends on the purpose the truck will serve. For a work truck long bed, but for a "sport" truck definitely short bed.
