After reading through several others posts here and on facebook I decided to see if I could lower mine by just simply making new sensor rods, this led me down the path of chopping my bumpstops, installing QA1 adjustable rear shocks and ultimately buying the IHC cut kit and timber grove 4" crm bag kit. I was very disappointed to find that the factory bags have a massive internal bumpstop in their design which only allows about 1.25" of rear drop without bottoming out on every pothole and dip in the road. This was less than the 2" I wanted to lower it for that level look. Once I started looking at a solution I realized how good these trucks look with either a 2/4 or 3/5 drop so I decided to dive in and see what I can make happen. Once I get the rear set to the ride height I want somewhere in the 3.5-5" range and riding smooth (lot of potholes where I live) then I will tackle the front.

Front issues seem to be that no one makes an upper control arm that also has the sensor rod attachment point so I believe for now I'll only be able to lower my factory bags to about 1.5" drop to keep alignment somewhat close to spec. Will update this thread as I learn more and tackle each piece.

Rear axle pulled for IHC cut kit and timber grove bags are installed.

Got everything done for now. Measurements from ground to fender are 34.5" rear and 34.75" front in aero mode (original aero measurements were 38" rear and 36" front.

Next step is figure out how to lower it another 1" all the way around if possible and still retain the front factory air bag setup.

Second pic is in OFFROAD 2 mode
