Slammed trucks

[Chris]

I don't understand the point with slammed trucks. Not only does it completely negate the purpose of a truck, it looks silly. Anyone have some insight on this for me?

example:

They look sort of like mechanical slugs...

Guy I work with has a slammed vw rabbit truck with a 2.0 swap soon to be supercharged. He did it to be unique. I think guys want hosspowah and handling but still want to act masculine when they say " get in the truck" idk, some it's tolerable but. That dodge is awful

Layin' frame bro.

At least they're bagged so you can raise them up and drive them.

Just another fad.

if I had air suspension in my car it would have a height range from a little bit lower than stock to LIFTED SO I CAN RALLY IT! Not OMG I JUST HIT MY ROCKER PANEL ON A PEBBLE!!

In my opinion, those trucks are more functional then your typical hipster slammed VW's...

 

[Chris]

At least due to the way truck suspension works, it makes it harder for retarded camber...

 

[i-wagon]

^yeah. Too many slammed dubs with retarded camber in l/a. That rabbit is done tastefully

Why do people slam their cars? Mostly for looks. Different strokes for different people.

I think they slam their trucks so they can get a couch in and out with ease!

Not my cup of tea.

I like legwagons idea. Make moving easier. No more lifting heavy stuff 3 feet in the air

I don't run into slammed trucks but I do see lowered. Air bags are softer then a truck that has a 2-4" drop from what I can gather. My brothers 03 Chevy 1/2 ton has a 3" or 4" drop that also levels it. It rides stiff.

I wouldn't mind something that low when I get older. No lifting myself into the truck.

ive always liked the toyota s runner......2wd 3.4 v6 supercharged....low but not slammed. its just not practical here in maine, kinda like trucks with 6-10 inchs of lift that never see the mud.

Or with a lift and only RWD

This is as far as I see someone needs to go. And in Maine using it as a summer vehicle only.

There's a guy on New Gloucester Rd (or is it Grey Rd?) (Rt231) with super low Dodge truck. I actually think it looks cool, plus he can still haul stuff with it so its not totally useless.

That S10 in the first pic has an LSx swap. Bet it hauls DONKEY too.

Even better is the thread about slammed Jeeps.
