Re: What's the deal with lowering trucks?
I think it all comes down to a vehicle being a form of expression and I will go as far as to say "ART".
Why did the vehicle manufactureres change body styles over the years and add trim and other (non-performance or functionality oriented ) features onto their vehicles? It is because we like vehicles to do more than just their function. We enjoy their styling.
Paint was originally introduced to serve a simple purpose, and that purpose was NOT to be pretty. It was to resist corrosion.
Now most of us see paint as a means for color.
So to me your original question of why someone would lower a truck would be like asking someon why in the world they would paint a car or truck blue.
The answer would be :
"Well, simply because I like Blue"
