After I have been reading around here I am now torn on what to do. Lift or lower?

I have always been a lift guy but this is the first 2wd vehicle I've ever owned and I have to admit I have been digging the lowered colorados with rims lately.

I need guidance.

I say split the difference and go for the average of the two................................................hmmmm, that would leave it where it's at. Don't do either until you decide what you want. Just my opinion.

Good luck!

How about "leave it alone"? Oh well, do what you like best.

His started out ultra lowered. Now its standing on its tiptoes. He'd be the best to tell you both sides of the story. Again, good luck.

The only problem with lowering it would be you've got to pussy foot around curbs or obstacles and shit, personally, I'd rather have the option of driving over them

I actually tend to use trucks as trucks. Not just something to look at. I drive it everyday, I haul stuff in the bed. I like being able to point and shoot. One day hell if I get another vehicle I am doing a Solid Axle Swap and turning it into a 4x4.

How much difference did the 2.5 lift do? It would be nice for comparison to say the 5 inch CST.

2wd = lower
4wd = lift imo

i would lift then because what really changed my mind was when it was lowered i loaded my RMZ250 into the back and had about an inch or so suspension travel in the back before it hit the bumpstops and my bike plus gear only weighs probably 250lbs. i took the rear lowering blocks off then put on the front SMAXX spacers and i have a little cali lean, some 1" shackles would make it perfect, buts its nothin compared to CST in my opinion
