Re: 2/4 or 3/5 lowering Kit with Disc Brakes

Even if stock alignment specs can be achieved. Note that using 3" drop springs will eat the inside of your tires due to the accelerated camber curve. Expect 10-15k on front tires at most. This is due to the arms being deeper into the camber curve. Not a problem for some that do not put on many miles. For a daily driver it can be cause more expense. I got tired of it after three front tire purchases.

Wow thanks for sharing, I wasn't aware of that.
I'm personally not interested in lowering my truck but that's good information to be aware of IMHO.
