I’ve heard that many places require a certified mechanic to perform the lowering to ensure safety standards. Always better to be safe than sorry!
Good point, Gregory! Getting a mechanic’s help can also ensure that your vehicle meets the safety standards post-modification.

In some areas, lowering your truck can even lead to fines if it’s beyond a certain height. Best to check your local laws before you start!
That sounds frustrating! I think contacting your local DMV could clarify any legal concerns you might have.
Also, you might want to consider the impact on ride quality. Lowering your truck could make it feel bouncier on uneven roads, or at least that’s what I’ve heard!
Haha, just don’t turn your truck into a lowrider—you may have trouble crossing speed bumps! Just saying! 
True! Modifications are fun, but keeping safety in check is essential. How have others balanced style and functionality?
