Lowered rigs

So I was looking around yesterday and came across this. I wouldn't mind having or driving it would have to be my second truck cuz I would needed something lifted as well

Is there anyone here with lowered or air bagged Super Dutys or have pics of any??

There's a dropped 2WD Super Duty dually around here that tows a big race car hauler. It looks neat enough. BTW, if anyone ever tells you that dropping a truck kills it's usefulness, it's only because they've never owned or built one done right. I've owned a few and if you use some common sense, they actually ride and drive and haul better than a stocker. My father in law and I bought identical trucks several years ago. Same engine, same trans, same body style, same year. After I dropped mine, it rode better, it got better mileage and with the airbag assist, it could haul more. Plus it looked much better, but that's just my opinion. However, having said all that, I'd be very careful of what I would choose to drop. Historically, Ford trucks do NOT work very well dropped and are very expensive when it comes time to drop the suspension. You may hate me for saying this, but GM's 1/2 ton trucks are the best way to go if you want a lowered street truck. The aftermarket is full of Chevy lowering kits, and there's a good reason for that. The car-style suspension that makes them a bad choice for 4WD and off-road trucks, makes perfect sense on the street. Not only that, but there are so many already done dropped GM trucks out there, that it really doesn't make sense money-wise to even build your own, especially in SoCal, where you are. Look at a few, drive as many as you can and buy one already done. Beware of tires that rub, or insanely large wheels. Personally, I don't like anything bigger than 17's and think the same size tires all around on a dropped truck look dumb, not to mention those tires get very spendy. Also, look at tire wear, a properly dropped truck shouldn't have any goofy wear problems, if it does, it's dropped too much or not done right. Good luck!

Lowered trucks havent been my cup of tea since high school, but that dually is bad ***. Having it sit on the ground is key. Just a lowered truck cheaply done isnt cool, but the ones that spend the time and money to make it as trick as that one are cool. Like you I'd need a second truck to play/work in.

Not my bag but if you're gonna drop it, might as well break something (land speed record for instance) doing it;
