i posted about this in a facebook group where guys brag about their mods on their trucks.... i didnt get any answers.... maybe they just dont know how to understand why i would want to lower a 4x4 instead of lift it....
i have put thought into maybe eventually lowering my truck for safety and comfort reasons... it rides about a foot high off the ground as it is. i want to know about lowering it as much as possible without making any major changes to the body/chassis/frame. im not interested it dropping it to the ground, just want it lower, maybe 4-6 inches or so.
is it even possible to lower a 4x4? if so, then how? shorter springs and struts?
if it is possible to lower it, what would the situation be for wheel clearance if i added on some 20 inch wheels?
would fancy wheels even work on a 4x4?
i obviously know nothing about lowering or lifting... looking for some answers. thanks in advance!
