I'm a sports car guy, who loves the mud, too. Having a somewhat tighter fender/wheel gap (what happens when people put bigger tires on without lifting) looks really good. So, for those who want to have a fast on-road truck (with factory off-road chops); this is what I propose:
Get 1" shorter rear springs that are stiffer than factory; so that the net lowering will be about 3/4". As a bonus, you'll have more rear roll stiffness - less understeer.
Less understeer means a more playful rig both on-road and off-road. Doughnuts, anyone?
NET RESULT
1) Nice level look
2) Less overall fender gap
3) Maybe a smidge better gas mileage - (lower frontal area)
4) More playful handling balance
Who's in?
