To lower or to level...
So, I'm stuck with this idea for my new NNBS... It's an extended cab LTZ 4x4. I don't know whether to lower it or level it. If I go the level route, it'll be a 2.5" CCM kit with my stock 20's and 33's of some sort, probably Nitto's. If I go the lower route, a McG's 2/4-5 kit with my stock 20's and stock tires. What do you guys think?

Sounds like the same thing I was tossing around when I started with "Leveling" my Z, and I just wanted to clear 33's. Once you start going up it never ends, don't get me wrong I love my truck, but if I had it to do all over again I'd go lowered..!..

Thanks for the reply! I agree with you, I think if I start out with a leveling kit, it'll lead to me wanting a 7.5" RCX with 35's...Originally Posted by 1978steven

Level it and use a truck like its supposed to be used! You can still go fast too!

The same thing is gonna happen if you lower it. Your just gonna want to go lower! I've got a 2/5 drop on my truck right now and its driving me crazy. I used to have a 4/6 and plan on going back to it. My vote is to do the leveling kit with 33's. You won't be happy with just a 2/4 drop and you can't go much lower with a 4x4.
