Why would you want too lower a 4 wheel drive truck ??? Low riders are for those guys that can't get it up. Think lift kit and large mud tires.

That's like asking why you would want a 20 year old, beat up truck that only gets 6 miles a gallon. It is painfully obvious thatit ispersonal preference.

20 years old yes, beat up, well, the work truck is, but it is a working truck, and holds up better then alot of newer trucks. My 87 is in much better shape then quite a few much newer trucks. But I hear you. Nothing wrong with lowering a truck, just wouldn't do so to 4 wheel drive truck. 2 wheel drive models are easy enough too find, and much easier and cheaper too lower. Just like I wouldn't lift a 2 wheel drive truck and put on large mud tires. Would be kind of a waste of money. Why a 20 year old truck ??? Remember that 91 was the last year for the solid front axle GM's, and then only avalible in select models. (But they are very easy too modifie. Those weak 10 bolt half ton axles can be replaced with a set of 1 ton axles. Dana 60 up front, and 14 bolt FF out back is basically a bolt in. Small mods, but nothing too hard.) Sure, IFS rides nice on the road, but not everyplace worth going to has a road. I'm sorry if some of y'all didn't get what I was saying. I like too joke around, didn't intend too hurt feelings.

2wd trucks are way cheaper than 4wd... seems odd to lower 4wd but mod what you got I guess

Go ahead and lower it if you want. I really prefer the lowered look on blazers unless your going all out on the lifting kit.

Yeah I like lowered blazers as well I just meant it would have been much cheaper to buy a 2wd and lower it rather than waste the 4wd, but heck, like I said, what do I know, maybe you got a good deal on the truck, could be a lot of things...

I think you should lift the passenger side, and lower the driver side.

Think unique.
