What should I do to my 2004 4x4 XLT?

I have a (black) 04 Limited, all stock. My dilema's similar.. Do I lower it? or Raise it?? It looks too stealth to raise, i think. But lowering it, even with 22's or even 24's just doesn't look right. It is a 4WD, it does need some rubber under it, not just rims and low profile, i think. Any thoughts..

I got a black push bar/ bull guard here in Louisville at Stuff for Trucks. I think I paid $150-175 for the install kit and bar. I got some cheap fog lights and bolted them to it. I gotta get some pics of my truck.

Do it.

I've been using the 4WD a lot lately, and I decided if anything, it'd be raised.. Leave the lowering to 2WD.. I probably won't lift mine, but I will eventually get some BFG All Terrains on there instead of the stock tires. One thing I did was removed the stock running boards, right away it looked higher up. I've got some cool pics I'll post later.

Sorry if my posts are kinda all over the place, I have tacos waiting on me so I'm rushing.

Not much clearance..

Anyone know what kind of tires these are? Will they fit on a 3rd Gen with no rub?

Those are Interco Super Swamper SSR's. Probably won't fit without rubbing with no lift.
