MPG may get better....lower to the ground, better aerodynamics. I wonder how white walls or stripers would look tucked up in tight? LOL!
Will handle better for Evasive maneuvers too...... :emotions33:

How about you STFU !!! Notice I avoided saying that above and just left it as it wouldn't hurt the mpg. There was a reason for that. :rofl:

Since it's a nice stock looking truck I would not drop it.

I generally conquer with this but in his first post he talked about "slamming" it and having already ordered a C-notch kit and misc other items. These things tell me that he'll be hacking up some things to get low. At the very least cutting the frame in the rear to install the c-notch. If truly slammed then there will be a lot more cutting than that :sad72:

Okay...I'm voting stock. An inch or 2 less dramatic, and I'd be neutral. But not that low.

:shakehead: It's only my opinion... but stock looks better.

He asked for our thoughts... he is getting them!! Not that it matters much, but my wife says no. How it is now is much better.

If he's only doing a flip kit then a c-notch isn't required. I don't have one on mine an I haven't bottomed out on the frame out yet. If he's still going to haul/tow he can use some helper bags or air shocks. If he does do the notch an does it right the frame will be just as strong in that area as it was before....
