Looks hot Kerry!

Would you consider lowering it?
Thx Tony. Yeah I'm familiar with that X5. I love it but when you lower these trucks, the ride quality decreases a great deal. My wife and kids would be bouncing all over the place. The ride right now on these 21's is extremely comfortable. If it was MY everyday car, I'd do it in a heartbeat. It looks sick lowered like that.

I think that X5 is lowered on air bags though. Look how slammed that thing is. If you just lowered it by a couple of inches, would the ride quality degrade that bad?

unfortunately, yes. Its involved as well. It has air shocks in the rear. Just doing the H&R springs gives it the bounce. Its a shame because the drop is perfect. 1.2 inches. Oh well. I'll suffer as is.
