so how does lowering a truck take away from its cargo/carrying capacity?.... its lower... so what, you cant put shit in the back any more?.... you cant tow a trailer?.... um i think not.... i for one do not car if a truck is lowered or raised..... and if done right, lowered trucks can handle better than most sports cars.... you just seem to be talking out your ass..... why dont you bash lowered trucks when you have done some more research... until then shut up, you dont know what you are talking about.....im sorry in i have singled you out.... but it just pisses me off when people THINK they know what they are talking about... dont take it personaly... but you are wrong.....
/goodnightThe springs and rear suspension of a truck have a fair bit to do with its carrying capacity, do they not? Changing the ride height (and suspension travel) has a defacto effect on the load capacity.
what research do you suggest i do? what objective data do you have to backup your surprising claim that "done right, a lowered truck will outhandle most sports cars"? Where are all of the lightly modified trucks tearing up racetracks in the US? You should inform all those stupid 911 drivers that they'd be better off with a lowered pickup, instead of using a normal height pickup to tow their race cars
You seem to be emotionally disagreeing with me. While my original post is mostly a judgemental criticism, the specific deficiencies i listed later still stand - if you want to suggest that I'm wrong on any of them, please name them and then make reasonable arguments..

Thrash: Who really gives a rats ass? Seriously. Let him do his thing you do yours and appreciate the work that he has done to his TRUCK and coexist peacefully. All your doing is getting people to hate you cause your being a bitch about something little. How many people do you see carrying 2 tons worth of dirt in there mini truck? They aren't made to do the work of a bigger truck. SO, im gonna guess that the guys who do mini trucks really don't care about not being able to haul ass loads of shit.

Lifted trucks don't bother me. Lowered trucks.. that's a special kind of ghetto that I never would have imagined could exist. Lowered trucks are like the trifecta of dipshitness... none of the advantages of a car... none of the advantages of a truck. Good job, ass clown.I'm guessing you've never driven or rode in a lowered dually pulling a trailer. There is nothing wrong, redneck or hillbilly about spending money to have a nice ride. There are other reasons to lower a truck especially 2wd, mainly if that's what a person wants. If you consider somebody with diferent opinions than yours, an ass clown, then maybe your just too good for guys in that crowd.:icon_thumright:

- True True, but anyways, To each his own. Each vehicle type "lifted,lowered, tuner, etc" will have its fag members. THeres nothing you can do about it. I have friends that fall into each catagory and they're all pretty cool guys. Its just the few assclowns that give the rest a bad name.

racing is another subject. there is no class particular to trucks, but they do compete at national eventes. scca syas there was a guy with a toyota pickup that qualifies in 2 classes. as far as racing against 911s, i was at the PCA event last month and with my little truck, was putting down times equivalent to those of the porsche guys. and for me to compete at a higher level, all i need to do is change my tire setup and i can compete.

Me also. I have a lifted SUV with exhaust and a ricer. That means that I have the best of both worlds!

In GENERAL, I have to agree. I've been tailgated and almost run off the road more times BY FAR by big trucks than by cars. Just the other day I was driving down 17th ave going about 30 (in a 25) being tailed by a truck that was literally two feet from my bumper. Then the fucker had the nerve to start honking at me, I assume to make me go faster. The sad part is, thats nowhere near the first time something like that has happened.I've had less of a problem with stupid high school kids with "super fast" civics. Granted I'm sure it's just the same type of deal as with the import crowd - a few ruin the image of the many - but still. It pisses me off when people that drive huge gas guzzlers that get 3mpg think they own the road.
I usually get tailgated like that in my civic and if they honk I slow down to about 20 mph just to really piss them off.....but to tell you the truth I do plan to lift my truck and put big tires on it....and suprisingly enough it was getting roughly 16 mph in town with my programming on there and a 400hp/450ft.lb. torque motor. I'd hate to be stereotyped as a hick though, but I suppose it's better than the assholes with the diesels that just have to get their faggot ass pipe right next to my window when I have it rolled down......now that's gayer than a bag of dicks and really gets me wishing I had a shotgun in the back seat.
