…is buy a truck, and lower it.

I'm looking to buy a new (to me :P) truck, and sometimes you get
"oh yea, the suspension has a 4 inch" (at this point I'm like, sweet, it's gonna be lifted.) "drop to it." (at this point, I want to yell "flamer", but I have manners.)
"haha, not for me thanks. bye."

The only thing worse than riced out stupid cars, is riced out stupid trucks.

shop smart, shop s-mart, mhm

you have your opinions, and you are entitled to them, but not ALL trucks are 4x4. What is the use of a lifted 2 wheel drive? You can't go mudding in it, so you pretty much have a poser truck that only looks good. I like lifted trucks, but I also like lowered trucks, alot. So the way I see it, If I have a 4x4, It will get lifted, if I have a 2wd, It will be on bags and slammed to the ground. Right now I have a 2wd, and hopefully, sometime soon, it will be on bags . .

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
There are two main reasons to own a truck. One would be for the ground clearance and 4x4 capability and the other could be if you ONLY need it's cargo area.
I hate driving trucks. Hate it. The weight balance while unloaded is FUBAR and is annoying as hell:mad:
I basically NEED a truck box however. What I don't need is any extra ground clearance beyond what a car offers and I don't need 4x4.
I basically need/want a good handling, fast car with a truck box :lol: (no trailers thx)
First rule of making most vehicles handle better? Lower the center of gravity. Go figure eh?
"bagging" and such is a whole 'nother area and is definitely a fashion/show thing….to each their own.

Tons of "street" trucks out there that look super awesome and are setup right without going over the top:)

I basically agree with you, but there are few cool ones out there.

What i dont get is why people spend tons of money lowering, putting sweet wheels and like body kits and shit on like crappy old s 10's. like these people that spend more money on the rims than the cars worth just seems so fucked up.

Same with people pimpin shittie civics and stuff, like just save that cash and buy something worth the time. seems like 99% of the riced trucks i see are like 94-97 gmc s 10s.:???:
