New owner of a 92 D-50 4x4 (Oregon)

Why is my truck so high off the ground? Is it because it’s a 4x4? The majority of the trucks here have the vato look and are sitting low.

Probably the huge wheel combo on it. 4x4's always have more ground clearance than 2WD's. This is a prime truck to learn some new skills with. The injected engines with a distributor are a piece of cake to tune and service. And you will appreciate the fact it's a 4 cylinder engine with belt driven timing. Having to pull apart 1/3 of an engine to get to a timing chain isn't fun and the V6 engines can be daunting to work on. Seriously, the stuff you need to do is all within your scope of ability - it's getting past the self doubt/fear factor.
