    lol i told him this exact same thing today! i also told him to decide lift or lower NOW to save him down the road lol but i think he'll leave it stock height wise. and the 14" tires are like brand new so theyll be on for awhile. but i could see him changing that lol

    yea i spose but i did that for my truck when i lowered it and it was still tough, but definitely helped. see a BL on mine would suck because my cab mount bolts and bed framing is just nas-tay

    Lower it for him....you can lower that truck in twenty minutes...by the time you were done he wouldn't even know you were gone. Just crank the torsion bars down and got to advanced auto and pick up a set of 3 inch blocks for 30 bucks...and your done! and with those trucks lowering the torsion bars doesn't really effect caster or camber....unless you take the torsions out completely. I built a couple mini truck in my day...2 nissans, 2 toyota's and 1 mazda.

    Stock
