You be stylin' and profilin' with that. I like the lower rear look, why not just put some weight in the bed to attain it. Cheap, and your truck will ride better for it, as well as get better traction. Don't forget to re-aim your headlights! Have lots o' fun!

If you just want the look and your not gonna use it for desert running get a 3-5 inch suspension lift and dont put the rear portion of the lift kit in. Just a thought dont know if it would work but maybe for a pavement pounder?

good stuff---but those ideas dont sound like they would give me a nice ride

am i wrong?
i was planning on putting fiberglass fenders from fiberwerx
and stuffin some 35s on just the level
but i love the way trucks look when ther a lil lower out back

what would u do with a truck like mine?

I have a 2008 crew cab 2wd I went for the same look without compromising the ride get a leveling kit for the rear and a 7200 series shock from Bilstien it gives you up to 2.5 inches of lift and doesnt compromise the ride quality. Ill post a couple pick soon.

The best advice I can give you is leave the thing alone.

If it's your daily driver and you need it to get to work, leave it alone!

Just keep it stock and that wy it will still be under warranty. Wait for that to go out and then upgrade after it's paid off.

Sell it, buy a mid 90's Full size Bronco, build a real truck for what you paid for this thing.

depends on who you want to impress. load it up with baja design lights, fiberwerx glass, robby gordon wheels and toyo's or bfg's and king's or fox's to impress your boyz. if you want to impress the ladies, leave it stock cause most of them won't give a rats ass about all that neat stuff anyway.[and keep the bench seat.]
