Nahhh, I'm not big on whitewalls on vehicles in a time when they weren't using whitewalls.

I vote for leave it alone and put a nice wheel and tire package on it.

More buyers will consider it at stock height and you wont have lowering costs to recover.
I love the color of your burb and would bid if I had the money to win! Good luck to you!

Don't lower it , add steel wheels with hub caps.

IMHO wide whites would be hot if you were coming downtown. Yup...lowering it. Come on! I promise you will stop being bored with it. The second you sell it, you are going to regret it. Trust me

I've been struggling with the same question on my truck for about 16 years, still haven't done it yet (one day I want to, the next I don't).

*IF* I had a 2wd burb though... I would HAVE to drop it! They just look sooooo much cooler down low.

If you do go with drop spindles, it will kick your front tires/track width out another 3/4" per side if I remember correctly? and to me it appears your front tires are already a hair out past the wheel wells? Pet peeve of mine, drives me nuts. I'd drop it 3.5/5 with all ECE stuff and put a 7" front wheel on it with a 4 to 4.5" backspacing (keep the wheel the same, I love those, I have 'em on my truck!) The 3.5 drop up front will be a 2.5" spindle with a 1" spring. I like the tire size, I'd leave it alone, just get smaller width front wheels.
