as far as lifting... 1.5" torsion lift (4wd) and 2" shackles = 70.00 give take
2" body lift 250.00 give take. (check summit site)

Loosen your torsion bar bolt to lower the front, 3" drop blocks ($30-$40.00) and new belltech drop shocks about 42.00 per shock. Just keep this in mind, if you lift the truck you will need to purchase new all terrain or mud terrain tires to complete the look which will run you under 1,000.00 depending on the brand you choose.

I don't see the point in lowering a 4x4... but that is just me

Personal preference. I just suggest go with whatever you can afford. Don't worry about what others like or dislike, it's your truck.
