I have been looking online and have not found one at all, but does anyone offer a lowering kit for the new body style 1 tons?

My dad wants a new 1 ton but does not like how high it sits, thats what he has always liked about the GM trucks is how low they sit so he asked me to look for one.

Thanks

how low does he want it? I mean you could do a flip kit in the rear to gain about 5-6 inches of drop and lower the t-bars in the front at least an inch. or for a smaller drop in the rear a 2" lowering shackle. there are tons of options.

He just wants to drop it and level it abut 2-3 inches. I am more looking for what companies to be looking under. I went to stlyingconcepts.com and couldn't find a thing for any new trucks.

to make it level the back needs to go down around 5" which would be a flip kit. I would look at belltech or mcgaughy's. Both make good stuff.

Call McGaugheys first and then DJM Suspension. From what I understand the bones of the truck are pretty much the same as the classics...

Better yet, stick a big ol honking 5th wheel in the truck and go on vacation. Great solution to "leveling out the truck" and a mellow attitude.

DJM makes a kit specifically for this truck. check it out they have pictures on their website of a 1 ton dually lowered with a 6/8 drop.
