Re: why are some lifted trucks higher at the front?
It's more like pre-runner style for jumping & **** . Most trucks stock sit around 2-3 inches higher in the rear .Main reason is for when your hauling a load it sit's even . I guess you could find a lift & compensate for a smaller block in the rear . That would change how the truck sits . Fabtech makes some nice kits for 2wd . I have always used 4wheelparts . So what truck are you lifting ? What is uk ? And why in the *** did i type all this **** ? lol

Its only a few inches..... I put a 3 inch fabtech lift on the front of my ranger, and just left the rear stock... Its a trend that started with trophy trucks... They have a **** LOAD of travel in the front and let it sag in the rear..

go onto topguncustoms.com and look at all the jumk *** RIZE kits they sell that sit like that. I can't stand that look and think about it, if you put your bike in the back it will sit even lower. I don't get why you would want your truck to look like that but to each his own. Mine is an 08 dodge 2500 with 8" lift with 37's and it sits fine level.

Maybe it's just not popular around here... But I've never seen anything like that, and IMO it looks retarded
Anyone with a raised truck around here is either level, or has the rear end slighty higher for towing/loads...

That does look retarded.... Big trucks should not carry that look!! Its a Pre-Runner look, Meaning rangers, toyotas, **** like that, Not a ****** cummins diesel dodge!! LoL

Yeah, I didn't really wanna go complete pre-runner... I think its a joke unless you go all the way... I just didn't wanna have a stock ranger..... Not a big car guy... I just wanted something that looked clean

Re: why are some lifted trucks higher at the front?
it doesnt really, it just looks sweet. it has the fenders, the tire in the back etc. i am not sure becasue ive never really looked at the truck, but it looks like coil overs in the rear
