Open to suggestions

I am considering lowering my truck, but I don't know much about it. Please tell me some ideas and I am not looking to spend a fortune.

if you lower it dont slam it, having the wheels tucked in the wheel wells just doesnt look right.,

I knew you were kidding!

I am thinking maybe a couple of inches of a drop would be a nice look.

Trucks should be lifted not lowered~ Thats just my opinion. And you know what they say about opinions. There like a$$holes, everyone has one, and they all stink!

3/4 would be a good look! If you want more save for bags so it can be adjustable. Daily driven 3/4 is pretty decent. More than that is hard on a daily driver.

2-3 or 3-4 would be suitable for you jasfrmn, but if interested in bags... bags may be selling his bags. Hmm did anyone understand that? Anyways im sure he would give you a good price if he does.

im not entirely positive but the below picture should be pretty close to a 3-4 or 4-5.

BTW guys, dont give the guy and flack just because he wants to lower it. We are all unique in our own ways... and if we cant acknowledge other people uniqueness, then lets just keep it to ourselves. Thanks.
