I'm assuming that you're talking about either raising or dropping your full size right? Well, since your sonoma is already dropped and it is going to haul it, then I would definately lift it. That way you will have the best of both worlds. Plus if you do attend shows, then you can show them off together and have more of an impact at shows catching attention, especially if you show your trucks off with the dropped one under the lifted one. But that's my 2 cents.

yeah, that would be pretty cool, but massachusetts has a really strict lift law of no more than 4 inches ...unless i lift it with bags on a cantilever setup so i can pass ispection...i dunno i want to get the body done first anyways. rust sucks!

that's the only problem with state laws...every one is different. Nebraska is quite different...there are trucks that roll down the highway with their mudders on and they are sitting so high that you could back your 'noma under it. I don't know what to tell you except that if there is a way around it to where you can lift it above the 4" while at shows, then go for it. I'd check with your local law enforcement first before I'd do any sort of a modification to it and have a copy of it so you can cover your ass if you do get pulled over. I was reading Super Street the other day and they had a big article about this stuff with the rice rocket exhaust being too loud, window tint being too dark, etc. They said to get a copy of the order that shows the legal qualifications and keep it in your truck to save you ass when a cocky police officer puuls you over. DAMN!...that's enough typing for this reply....

That'll do, yes that'll do. Can't go wrong with the BFG mud T/A's. Had em' on my 76 F150 and loved it. They last like 40,000 miles, and for a mud tire that is exceptional.

Lift it for performance. i wouldnt go overboard with on of those crazy 20 inch lifts. its always nice to have a vehicle that will go offroad. lifting that old of a truck, might make highspeed vibrations though. but good luck with the project.

alright, i couldn't stop myself...i bought a 4 inch lift. i couldn't help it, it was pretty much given to me...100 bucks for a brand new never opend rancho kit. man this sucks...now i have to get even bigger tires this was only going to be a beater tow rig, but i have to admit...i've fallen in love with it. why can't i just leave things alone?!?
