Lowering kits - 2025 options?

[jredondox]

Love my icon kit. You get what you pay for. Everything else is a compromise that will eventually fail your suspension. I did 2" drop in front and 4" rear. Compliments everywhere I go. Firmer suspension for better handling while still being silky on the highway.

I just bought this kit! Can you send me pics of your coilovers? I want to see the distance for the springs!

Very nice.

I'd like to remove some of the rake but how are y'all dealing with re-calibrating the cameras and sensors for the various systems like dynamic headlights, blue cruise etc?

Don't need to. At all. The cameras and sensors are designed to still be effective whether you have a large heavy rear load, a large heavy front load in the front, or any combination between. Lowering just puts them in a similar place

So all one would need to do is re-aim the headlights so they aren't blinding oncoming traffic then? I had to do that after I lifted and leveled my old truck, wasn't a lot of adjustment mind you but it was needed.

If you were lowering the entire truck like with the icon kit, you don't need to ream your headlights. They have an adaptive system which works really well. If you lift the front then yes you'll need to re-the headlights.

Lowering the rear only.

What method did you use?

What method did you use?

Initially the Belltech shocks but that a horrible solution because a) you take all the softness out of the spring in the truck rides rough as shit and b) unacceptable camber, you will require camber plates.

went ICON and haven't looked back

I used the Eibach lowering springs, 3 in the rear and .9 in front, so far nobody has given me the finger, so i don't believe you need any adjustments.

Love the look of your truck. Can you comment on any highway range improvement from lowering?

Got about 10% with lighter wheels and lowering 2" in front, 4" in back. Went from 2.0->2.2/2.3. Much better around town. Even 3.5-4 depending on what and where
