I think it looks fine the way it is...dropped vehicles IMO are reserved for a particular group of "people".

Duncan, I'm not from Toronto....so what group of "people are you referring to. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't talk about your own breed...the Canucks.

I think a slight drop looks good on 2by's. Especially if it's not used as a primary hauler.

That would be a giant no here. The only dropped trucks you see in these parts are driven by (fill in the blank demographic) with California plates on them... or genuine street rods, which is a different animal completely.

I'm a late entry but I voted no!

Most trucks have a 'rake' where the front end sits down lower than the rear end because of the big leaf springs in the back. The only thing I'd ever lower is to use a drop-shackle to level them out if the truck is being designed to 'go fast.' Your truck, however, it very very level.

if it is 2wd i'd say hell yeah them flares look nice lowered and there arent many lowered flares out there on the streets and if its a 4wd better be raised up a few, its a shame to drop a 4wd but if i had another flare that was 2wd, id drop it to the ground!
