At the end of the day it depends on the intended purpose for the truck. If using strictly on the street, that is great. If you want to run in the desert or high speed off road, great. If you want to rock climb, great. Maybe it is playing in the snow, great. Or how about the sand dunes, great. How about some sand drags, great. For me it is the sand dunes, then snow, then sand drags maybe some high speed off road, rocks never again, but have done it. So for me I need more ground clearance especially in the middle. Have been building trucks since before I could drive, with all sorts of suspension systems and lifts. Associate with different monster truck teams and what works over there, does not mean it would work on our trucks, just as an example. So as so many people have said, it is a choice. Sure people have opinions, but they should not force there opinion on others, it is in the end, their choice. You can't say with your opinion that these type of things are a yes or no, or right or wrong. There just might not be a right or wrong, just what may be best for your intended use. But at the end of the day, that is just an opinion.
