A tough one, atleast for me it is!! Are we men required to keep our lower garments above our ankle ?

I came to know that we are but i'm weak i guess, quite weak! Any comments, rulings, references will be highly appreciated.

We've discussed this before on here.  Dr. Siddiqqi former ISNA president said:

It is forbidden for Muslim men to wear their pants or trousers below their ankles as a sign of arrogance. The Arabs during the time of the Prophet-peace be upon him- used to wear very long robes and shirts and used to drag them along showing their wealth and pomp. The Prophet -peace be upon him- disliked this behavior and told the men among his followers to keep their clothes above their ankles. But when Abu Bakr -may Allah be pleased with him- said to the Prophet that his pants sometime go below the ankles, the Prophet told him that you are not from amongst those who do it out of arrogance. We learn from this Hadith that what is forbidden is arrogance and not just the length of the trousers.

Bro Arshad have you got reference of that hadith you mentioned? The link provided by chokoz presents many authentic hadiths from Bukhari, Tirmidhi etc that ordain men to keep their lower garment above their ankle.

The hadith that bhaloo is indicating to is mentioned in the link posted. Scroll down to the 9th hadith and inshAllah you'll find it there.
