Ride height

How many of you like the stock spring height better than lowered. I like them both ways myself but I want to put mine back stock. I will be using mine to haul heavy loads from time to time and as it is now it will drag bottom with anything heavy or with a trailer behind it.

Re: Ride height

You could do air bags or helper bags rear and keep it lowered. No compressor onboard needed. Just fill them as needed with an external compressor

Re: Ride height

I would also have to agree that air bags would be the best of both worlds...
