Lowered, then raised again and raised some more with the touch of a button! :cool:

To each their own, I just never figured out why folks would want to lower a truck...but maybe if it's only a, "city truck?"

In my case, yes it’s a pavement princess, 2wd and going the street truck route. I’ve had my lifted trucks and done the whole off road thing. Back in my young days. Now I’m older, married and with 2 small kids. Just easier for the entire family to get into the truck.

That's what my dog is enjoying, is the entry/exit mode when the air suspension goes all the way down...way easier for him to jump in the back seat! :cool:

Thank you. Yes it is the IHC 3/5, however I haven't cut the rear springs yet. I think it still needs to come down a inch in the rear.
did you install the kit ?? any cutting or welding involved ?? can it be returned to stock height for resale ??

What brand rear lowering springs are you running? Did you notice any pluses/ minuses in ride quality after installing the rear springs? Your truck looks great!

I started at just 2” rear drop springs, and nothing really changed except appearance.

Maxtrac front drop shocks - set @ 2" drop
2" Maxtrac rear lowering springs

Fresh install, haven't measured after, I'll wait for the rear springs to settle.

I like the rake, I know most don't ...

That looks great. Did the alignment get back to spec? I’ve heard from several others after the 2” front drop, the camber is still negative.

Does having my truck’s air suspension at the Entry/Exit height count? 🤪

Got my alignment spot on. With me in the drivers seat, camber evens out to -0.3 on each side. I believe I still had wiggle room as well. I'd be okay with almost a degree of negative camber (just my own opinion here). Factory settings want to see zero camber nominal and 5 degrees of caster nominal.

I feel good about my current settings. I might throw it back on the rack for minor tweaks. For now, I'm happy
