Lowering seems to produce good returns for fuel economy gains. I'm trying to talk my wife into lowering hers, the "Green Monster".
yup, thats the next step (after removing the lift). gonna drop the front as much as i can without slapping the bumpstops all the time, and then block the rear down a little for a slight rake so i don't nose-up when towing. then switch to 28" tall street tires.

but first i gotta sell my other 2 sets of mud tires (the ones for my bronco). then this set you see here (which is almost new) will go on the bronco. that money will help offset the costs of the tires, lowering blocks, and alignment.
