Default Should I Lower It?

Ok, so I've recently been working on my truck and now I'm at the part where I don't know if I should lower it or not. There's a bunch of "offroaders" here that all have their trucks raised and I definately do not want to be put into that category with them.

I want the truck to be able to do decent 1/4 mile times and be able to run it at the local track.

Please give me your opinions.



2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT

A truck is never meant to be lowered. If you if you dont' offroad just keep it stock height. i think lowered trucks look awefully and I don't see the springs helping your 1/4 any.

Just make it a nice truck
