Hello,

I just got this truck and love it. But I would like to make it a little more reasonable height wise.

I am looking to lower the front about 3-4" and 5-6" in the rear.

My questions, and please forgive me for being ignorant. I have NEVER lowered a vehicle before. This thing is just too dang tall.

1. How much adjustment can i get by tinkering with the torsion bar for the front?

2. What are the "side effects' associated with adjusting the Torsion bar?

3. If I cannot use the Torsion Bar for what I want to do, what else can be done and what is involved. Is it a "do it yourself" job?

4. What are my options for dropping the rear? I dont even know where to start with that end.

By the way I have a 10k pound 5th wheel and i tow frequently during the summer months. Other than that, it is my daily driver. Everything on the truck is stock.



I appreciate the help. I would like to get this done ASAP.

Take care,
