I have a Chevy Silverado 1500 Wt Xt Cab. I am running through possible ideas for modifications for the exterior. Currently im in a limbo, i either want to;

A) Jack the truck up, big tires, brush guard, and add side rails

or

B) Lower the truck, sleek LP tires, w/ skirt modifications

Im looking for opinions right now. Just trying to weigh the pros-cons. My fear with raising the truck is that it is only a 2WD (I know i shouldve gotten the 4wd model but the 2wd was what i could afford). And my fear is lowering the truck was that it will look guady. I usually see the smaller trucks like S10's lowered and im afraid a full size will look cheesy.

Feel free to post opinions on the situation

 

It really depends a lot on where/how you drive it. My family has a couple of lifted 2WD F-150's on our farm for work. They look pretty slick with 33's and enough clearance to keep from rubbing and replacement bumpers. I also own a chopped and dropped Dodge Ram 1500 that I used to run on the track until I blew up the motor.

Personally, I hate the look of a lowered truck unless it is a street rod.

 

I vote for a slight lift and larger tires.

 

X 2 Lift it.

 

I just did a lift and bigger tires, and i couldnt be happier. The only thing i would to different with my lift is even bigger tires.
