I was just thinking about this myself but actually considering swapping out a 1/2 ton suspension into a obs crew cab!
More leg room for the kiddos than the ext cab im considering.

Heavier truck on a lighter suspension would ride like a dream IMO?
Dropped 1 ton or 3/4 ton suspension would not ride good. A lot of leafs on that pack!

Unless im wrong?

I've thought about going down(not too far because it still pulls a trailer pretty often) instead of up with mine since it's a 2wd but i don't know. maybe drop the back to level with the front and just get a 4x4 later on to lift..

Not looking to tow with it. Wasn't looking to tow with the ext cab i wanted to build. Just looking for more room. I like the way an OBS crew looks and thats the way im going to go.
