Why do these supposed 4x4 look like 4x low ?

[PorBoy]

Short of us having to do our due diligence and raise them up, why aren’t they being delivered looking like they should lol.

Because 99.94% of 4X4s never leave asphalt.

Boo lol we should at least look like we can.

For the majority of off road use in a full size, crew cab pick up, the stock height is plenty. And often beneficial by keeping it lower and out of low hanging stuff while on the trail.

Fuel economy (CAFE) requirements.

And to fit in most garages and parking structures.

You can always press the button to raise it up from it's aero and parking modes. The air suspension does have two off road heights if you have it.

If you have the air suspension the Off Road 1/2 modes give you a 9 1/8th & 10 1/8th inch clearance respectively (normal ride height is 8 11/16th). Add in the Off Road package and it includes a one-inch suspension lift with or without the available four-corner air suspension.

So you are getting nearly a foot of clearance with the highest setting on air suspension and the Off Road package. Plenty for most off roading that people are going to do in a truck (it is not a Jeep remember).

Park it next to a 20-year-old 3/4-ton 4x4, and yours will look huge. It’s just our expectations that keep growing!

Don't forget that with the Off Road Package you only get 1 off road increase over normal ride height. Nobody has ever really documented what is going on with the supposed one-inch suspension lift and why the second off road setting was deleted when you get the ORP.

I believe several threads and hundreds of posts have debated and documented that on this forum, dating back over a year ago. Bottom line: When your air springs have a total of 4” of travel, the peak is the same no matter where you start!
