Re: rear suspension upgrades with stock height
I'm sure ppl are running but why do u want to run it at stock height when u can upgrade to drop springs for free?

Re: rear suspension upgrades with stock height
I would look into this setup. They are vendors here and well engineered system from folks that know how to make one handle.

I checked out the link but it states that it will drop truck approx 5 inches, I want to keep truck at a stock stance and height

Re: rear suspension upgrades with stock height
If you are going to leave it stock height I would look into swaybar and shock upgrades. Then a longer tack bar. If you really want it to handle better dropping it some will reduce the roll center and a simple 2/4 drop makes a big change.
