Understanding Suspension: Lifts vs. Lowering

One of the first questions new members often ask is about suspension modifications. Do you go up or down? The answer depends entirely on your goals and preferences. Lifted trucks command presence on the road and offer practical benefits for off-road adventures. Lowered trucks hug the ground and provide a sleek, aggressive stance that turns heads at any show.

Both approaches have their considerations - lift kits may require additional modifications like driveshaft adjustments, while lowering setups need careful attention to avoid clearance issues. Our community includes experts in both styles who are always happy to share their experiences and recommendations. Before making any suspension changes, spend time at our meets talking to members with similar trucks to learn what works and what to avoid.
