I have to say when I had the 94 Dak (it was a 4x4, I thought anything low,
was stupid.. Now that I have a 97, 2x4, I think SOME (Not slammed) is great!
Example.. 2/4" would be perfect.. maybe an inch more.. but.. Its a truck....
its gotta be able to do some truck stuff or else its stupid.... MAYBE ok for
shows... but still retarded if you have to go an alternate route due to
small pot holes, or small bumps in the road... How would that sound to your
date? "Oh, I have to go the long way because if I go the normal way, I'll
get stuck in the road..."

I'm thinking of lowering mine about 2" front, 3-4 in the rear in the
summer... (I do alot of towing, a dual axel lawn trailer to be exact...)
So, i dunno how that will affect it.....

Just my $0.02 (+ tax)
