Ford Ranger
lowered has both pros and cons—it just depends on what’s important to you as a truck owner.Lowering your car is the act of reducing the suspension, bringing the car’s body closer to the ground.
Lowering your Ford’s benefits include better aerodynamics, improved handling, and better traction. It also reduces your chances of rolling over in an accident.
However, there are some downsides, mostly related to your car’s longevity. For example, there’s a higher risk of bottoming out and your tires will wear unevenly (and faster).
Ride comfort is up for debate—some drivers love feeling the road, while others will miss the comfort of a higher suspension.
