Exclamation Update on suspension

I made some phone calls today to some suspension companies to find out their status on 4x4 lowering kits. Heres what I found out.


McGaughys- Said they arent making a 4x4 kit/ 4x2 kit out in june
DJM- Has no interest what so ever in making a kit
Groundforce- 4x4 Kit will be out in a couple months.

Looks like groundforce has the market cornered do to dumbasses

Why would you even consider lowering a 4x4? I can't even imagine this one....

Think of it like the AWD Jeep SRT-8 and the AWD subaru's and EVO's. If that was your goal when you bought the truck sure.

Better launch and handling. And it's cool as hell when you see 4 wheels producing smoke!

Not my thing though.

My last 2 trucks were offroadish and I want this one to be a street truck. I think lowered trucks look good depending on how far down, the most I want to go is a 2/4 or 3/5.

Oh and dont try and flame me on lowering a 4x4, I bet I can count how many times some of you have gone offroading on one hand and that doesnt count driving on wet grass to wash your truck.

I am waiting for more companies to have the 2wd lowering kit out. Hopefully prices will drop then.
