There are a few lowered trucks that look alright. If they don't go too low, -





What looks the worst IMO, is when they put huge rims on either. That completely destroys the look. No pic of that , but you know what I mean lol. But I like the way yours looks in it's currant state.

Psh, I just use work as my gym. 16 hours of this crap got me pretty soar, pretty fast. I heard pain = gain?

Lowered trucks, wow. Quite a touchy subject. Want my opinion? I love them. Mine actually has 2" drop shackles in the rear for a leveled look. I'd probably only go lower if I were to alter it anymore. 18" L wheels, if you're curious about the size.

Yours is one of the only lowered Scab's that I think looks good. I went with the lift/level on my 2wd, but if I had a single cab 2wd like the OP I'd lower it for a clean street look.

Much appreciated. I've really been trying to aim for such, and it just seems like the pieces are falling into place as time goes on. It's turned out so much better than I could have expected.

Dont get me wrong, I like all lowered and lifted trucks regardless of wheelbase lol. I just think a shorter wheelbase looks better lowered than a long wheel base.
I completely agree with you on what you said at the end. I hate extremes. Everything has to be done in balance lol. And thanks for the complement!
