I get that it is cool, but the truck would handle better if it was lower, and still do all of the stuff most people will ever do with a 4WD truck. I see a lot of trucks these days that don't do a lot of work. You would need a step ladder to load them.
Years ago a 15" rim was standard. You have to raise the truck to fit the larger wheels under there now.

You would think on a 2wd truck they would want it lower to reduce drag.
