See, I agree with this statement, but think about it...

Why would someone lower a FWD car that will probably NEVER see a track...

For the look.

Why would someone lift a 2WD truck...

For the look.

And to the guy saying that only tough guys drive lifted vehicles and that Lowered>Lifted:

You may be legally retarded.

lifted trucks are praised out here in utah.... allmost every truck is lifted.. and not with some cheep kit.... everything i have seen out here has to be well over 5k in the suspenshion allone.. my budy has a 07 ford f-350 with a fabtech lift with nitro shocks and resivors.. 26'' rims and nitto mudder's... looks BAD ***!
allmost every car/truck i have owend has been slammed.. ( at least 3'' of the ground..)

i love my car's low... but ever sinced i moved to utah ive wanted a lifted desil with 24'' and mudders.. yummy

Pretty sure Nitto Mud Grapplers aren't made for anything above 22's. Actually, Im not even sure that they make ANY mud tires for more than 24s, and I think the only tire for 24s is Kumho M/Ts.With that being said if you ride offroad with over 18's in most cases you have too much money.

I have a 6.5" lift on my F 250 and 37x13.50x17 M/T's. I don't ride much off road because I pay too much for the truck and drive it daily, so theres no sense in abusing it. Ill go down muddy roads and ride off road, but I'm not going to drop a 10k lb truck in a mud hole. It just doesn't sound like a good idea.

With that being said, I don't care for lowered trucks myself, but I don't have anything against them. Anything with more than 8" or so of lift or anything dragging frame seems pointless to me unless its a show truck. But as long as the owner likes their truck cosmetically and functionally who cares what other people think...

They don't, this is from Nitto's site.

depends,

This looks like a all image BS to me

Where as this looks nice as it's all business and looks to server a purpose.

lowering my car with a good set of coilovers was the best thing I could have done for it, much better ride, handling, etc.
