Some guys like them lower, some guys like them higher, some like faster, some like louder stereos. To each their own. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

2. A suspension lift IS function. I'll have increased ground clearance, better shocks, wider tires for traction, etc. The aftermarket spindles I'm installing are also much stronger than factory cast stuff, and were designed to take alot of abuse. Stock is BORING.
Houston is flat. We don't have mountains or rocks to climb here. That doesn't mean we shouldn't customize our trucks and lift them. Thats like saying you shouldn't make your cars faster if you are not using them strictly on the race tracks.

Re: my GMC - Leave it, or Lift it?
Is this the "bash JMX" thread or the "is Tony a Redneck Rice Wannabee" thread?
