Lowered the rear 2" last night.

[J4U]

One thing I've notice after lowering the back end...

That darn whiplash brake assist is activating more in reverse. The better half always freaks out and thinks I'm doing it on purpose, haha.

Just need to slow my roll when backing.

take it off. That’s what I did. No issues. I had to before lowering cause my driveway is steep where I come off the road.

I think I will leave it on, although it ticks me off when it happens over protecting.

It has saved me once in the HD parking lot where someone left a cart and I didn't see it. I'll take the false warnings to help with my short comings of checking my surroundings.

Also, now that I've had mine leveled for a while, when I see other trucks not so it looks odd to me. Like they are sticking there back end up in the air twerking. (Too old to use that term)

Lowered the rear another 3/4” now the rear is only a 1/4” higher then the front in case I want to put something in the back. But can’t seem to take a good pic if my life depended on it.

I cut some off one side. It was 3/4” higher than other side.

I cut some off one side. It was 3/4” higher than other side.

Mine was even on both sides but driver side would be 1/4” lower with full tank. So I cut the driver side spring 1/8” higher. So when tank empty driver side will be 1/8” higher full tank passenger side will be 1/8” higher and 1/2 tank both sides even. That way looks even no matter how much gas in tank. I have checked all scenarios and it worked out perfect.

I ordered mine Tuesday, cant wait

 

[Bighorned]

do you guys think the 2 in rear drop will effect towing a lot? for the guys with experience and these springs. Also, how hard would it be to put a set of larger rims to fill the wheel gap a bit more. Reprogram wise.

Installed mines today and it took about a total of 7 hrs... I am slow That said; I love the look.
I have the helper airbags for towing but have NOT added my trailer to see difference.

Mine just showed up today! Hoping to get them installed over the weekend

I ordered 2" lowering springs on Wednesday and they should be waiting for me when I get home. Can't wait to get them installed tonight. I'm hoping the rear is 1" taller than the front. The most I haul is my street bike (~500lbs), and I definitely don't want the rear to sag.
