True you will lose the old truck feel,and the weight rating. However my truck is setup strictly as a cruiser,and thats the way I like it. Number one,its your truck and do it up however you want. If you want a truck that runs and handles just great,.go for the M2.Dropped straight axles are another option,however all you gain is lowering the front end.It will still ride and handle rough.Its your truck,do whatever makes you happy.
