Default Lowered trucks...what do you think?

READ BEFORE ANSWERING THE POLL

Recently I've been growing an interest in lowered/bagged trucks, especially duallys. All my friends say it's stupid and completely ruins the use of the truck, but what they don't realize is that if these people are doing this to their trucks, they probably don't tow or haul very much.

Here are a couple pics/vids





Dodge Cummings Dually Bagged & Body Dropped!! - YouTube

As far as non-dually trucks go, it can look either really cool, or really hispanic.
Examples


Versus


i'm thinking about buying this truck below and either getting bags or springs, but lowering it no matter what. based on what you've seen above, answer the poll

It really isn't my taste, but it also isn't my truck. based on the pictures you have posted, your candidate truck looks like it will fit in perfectly with the look you are going for. Before you start, make sure the truck is physically and mechanically in perfect condition.

bags will give you ride height options.

Definitely bags so you get height options but if you put springs you probably should be sitting on the ground like some of these pics

I have had 4 slammed chevy trucks in the past, 2 bagged and 2 static. On a truck I highly recommend bags, it makes it ride like a luxury car if you have the right set up.

I have noticed amongst the vast car culture, dubbers and minitruckers are cut from the same cloth. I see a lot of guys bounce back and forth from dubbs and trucks. I personally sticking with VAG, wife hates trucks/SUV's Happy wife, happy life
