RE: RAKED LOOK
I’m not sure what they did different to add the 1” lift to the TRX4 but I am sure that it is basically simple since its factory. They won’t spend any more money that they have to hence the wire thin rear sway bar. I will PROB. look into a third party bar. There aren’t very many TRX4s out there so I may have a hard time finding aftermarket suspension goodies.

coder, most people don't understand lowering a truck because it goes against the intended usefulness of the vehicle. Most trucks are bought to haul and tow, not take sweeping corners at high Gs. It's like kissing your sister, it's just.....unnatural. It doesn't bother me when someone lowers or lifts their truck but I think sometimes it goes beyond all common sense reasoning, especially lifting a 2WD a foot and half or lowering a 4WD all the way to the ground.

RE: RAKED LOOK
Anybody check their mileage before and after leveling?
Just curious, since I would have to guess the "raked look" is really for aero more than anything - most OEMs try to squeeze every free MPG that they can out of cars nowadays, hence the common use of the raked shape.

Nobody here ever seems to understand lowering a truck. It's always about raising the damned things! I'll take 1/2" over the tires and cornering like a slot car anyday.

It's a Southern California thing and things are VERY different here. If you want to do regular truck stuff then you get one for that also but it's not much the priority.

Hey I understand lowering the truck...but aside from the happy... I'm very pleased with how it looks... I like some lowered trucks...but some people just go way to far...and I think the 3rd gen Dakotas would look better lowered if they made a body kit for them... but the lowered ones I've seen just... don't do anything for me... I wish Icould get the handling of a lowered truck w/o lowering it...
