Plus you cant tell me your not going to break stuff while 4x4ing. I know I have. With a lift + mods your trucks performance will be about the same before the lift. Plus why increase the roll over risk, plus you'll eat tires like a fat kid at a buffet. Ask yourself this. How much do you go offroading compared to how much you drive it on the street?

The simple fact is that both ways are expensive and labor intensive. You aren't going to be low and go fast for cheap and you wont be high and not break things when playing hard. Its a simple truth, that if you are going to customize that its going to cost you more than if you were to just leave it stock. You have to decide if the cost is worth the reward to you.

Last time i checked lowering springs were just about 150 a set and aren't that hard to install. I'm not saying that its not expensive but once you count up the cost for the lift tires rims labor it could be WELL over 1200 dollars just for half that plus the tires you would be going threw. But lowering a 4x4 could mean your ball joints will be going faster.

Lowering a 4x4 S-series is actually pretty easy and cheap...

MUCH cheaper than lowering a 2WD S-Series, at any rate...

If I didn't 4x4 at all, I'd lower mine a couple inches.
