A truck can be a truck sitting low, there's plenty of suspension mods to make it perform even better than stock...

not in my opinion... if ya want a low rider, get an old buick and slam it.. not a pickup...

A car is useless, I can set a 2wd one ton on air and it'll still have at least the same capacity as when it was stock.

Also, a spring under axle swap changes nothing but the elevation

only until you have them sitting so low that you have to cut into the bed just to make room for your axle and driveshaft to slide into... then you lose your bed space to load anything into except some grocery bags.

A short bed is good for looks, nothing more. Can't load a motorcycles in one and close the tail gate. Can't haul plywood. Have to go taller to haul a ton of hay.
