Dude that truck is useless offroad cause it's 2wd. Lower it and stand out from the rest of the crowd! Besides, they're way sexier closer to the ground.

Okay, I am a bit late since I am now really just reading the thread since I have been busy with the Reserves, but I will put in my 2 Cents. Go ahead and level it either raise the front (prefered; my opinion, because I tried the lowering the rear trick and disliked it) or lower the rear. Get the 20s since the tires coast as much as 18s and put the alterain tires on it.

Ok 72charger... i am insulted that you said that...ha ha. chrisbmo2000 is right i have taken my truck through the woods a few times with no problems. granted i cant take it everywhere we take the old truck but it will stay up pretty good. I use my truck all the time to pull loaded hay wagons out of the field easily. Like i said everyone has their own style.

Ha, you realize you're asking like what's better - Coke or Pepsi? Sounds like you know what you're gonna do. If I was gonna romp with it, I'd lift it. But, I don't. I drive it every day in town, 99% of the time. I might take it down a dirt road to park it at the races, but that's about as off-road as I'd get.

As a streeter then, I like it level. But, I said that up there already

OK well I would always say to lift it. I just dont understand lowering them. If I wanted something low to the ground I would buy a car. Now no offense to you 2wd guys but seriously you are limited to what you can do. Now granted I am sure you can still have a good time and get dirty, and more power to you! Now that I have probably made 75% of the poeple on here mad I will just stop. Just my opinions.

Ok, ok.... my bad! I have done some unbelievable crap in my 2wd too but that was with the back end loaded down so I pretty much couldn't get stuck. Fact of the matter is though the truck isn't designed for mud if it's a 2 legger. I like both, but since I can't afford to buy a car and a car is REALLY what I want, I lowered the back of my truck. And quite honestly I've had more fun driving my truck in the last month since I lowered it then the last 2 years I've owned the truck! I can take a turn SO much quicker than the average truck now that it's not even funny!!
