lizardkingjr I've lowered every car I have ever owned, and that totals more than 60 to date .. I have destroyed suspension components, shredded tires, air bags and all kinds of custom work.
As time as progressed and companies have remade OEM stye components, I've moved in that direction. Look at what the moron that lowered my truck did, he removed the torsion bars, yep that was cheap, but he destroyed every busing under the truck and shredded the tires. Repairing that will cost more than just lowering this truck correctly.
Short cuts still cost money in the long run, and as I get older I prefer smoother rides. So go your own way, but do the homework on long term maintenance and other parts that will be impacted by the modifications. Those costs are often hidden.
