Eh mostly because from what I've heard it's not too expensive to lower but also to just experiment I guess.

It's not too expensive to put lowering shackles in, but it's like lifting a truck after that. The lower you go, the more expensive it gets if you want it done right.
4/6 lowering kit - 700.00
Drop shackles - 80.00
Belltech Street Performance Shocks - 230.00
Helper bags if you want to tow anything - 300.00
tie rod flip - 250.00
relocation brackets for upper control arms - 200.00
I can't weld, so I have probably 400.00 into welding between the c-notch, helper bag brackets and upper control arm relocation brackets.
Everyone thinks you just cut some springs and stick some blocks or shackles into a lowered truck, but there's a lot of stuff going on. Add in the wear parts that you find as you're going through everything and it gets expensive quickly. I just listed the basics to do a 5/8 drop correctly, I'm going 6/12 and gathering parts now. You can add at least $1500-2000 for me to go another inch in the front and 4 more inches in the rear and still have a truck that rides and handles nicely.
