it's not really my favourite look for a truck either, but it is all personal preference. i saw a really nice f150 in a magazine that had a bunch of performance mods and was lowered fairly low. it was a quick street and it looked like a race truck too.
but then again, joe has a mean fx4 that would probably give the f150 in the magazine a run for its money

I'll admit about ten years ago I lowered a ranger 4" in the front and 5" rear. She was beautiful. I mean ranger can't really do much else so why not!
It couldn't have done this for sure!

I'll admit that some low riders look nice if done up right. I just highly believe that it defeats the purpose of having a truck. Then again I come from a long line of four-wheel in anything that's got wheels so a low rider wouldn't cut it. And I also help people move a lot so I'm all about the truck being stock hight or higher.

Your truck wasn't lowered to a horrible scrap the ground kind of low though. And it doesn't look to bad.

Street trucks have what we want- the feel of a truck (higher seats, bigger engine, etc) but lower to the ground means less drag and better cornering. The Lightning is a perfect example as it is lowered from the factory. I don't understand why people jack up F-150s and put 38" mud tires on them and then go tear up their $10-50k truck in mud. Different strokes for different folks

The truck I'm buying from my buddy as oversized tires which I'm thinking of changing cause I don't care much for them. And his beat the piss out of it which is why he had to repair the front end. I'm not going to beat the piss out of it but I do plan on taking it up some muddy big ass hills to get to amazing camping spots. I love camping where other people aren't.

And I like how you said different strokes for different folks it was a nice touch
