Default Crown suspension???

Has anybody heard or dealt with crown suspension? I am looking to maybe lower my '14 stx but only want to go 2/3 with it. I do not want to do a flip kit. This place claims you can get 3" with a rear shackle and they have a 2" drop spring. Being mine is a '14 the front struts are different then previous years I cannot go that route. I have heard mine shares the same strut as a '15 but no one has been able to confirm that. Any input?

saw 3" shackle on amazon. I am skeptical since its the only 3" ive seen and from what ive heard its hard enough fitting a 2" under the bed. I would like to do a 2/3 also but I may end up going 2/2 (I like the sport rake) or possibly a 3/4

Yeah I was wondering how much taller of a shackle you could go and get a bit more drop. I had the belltech 2/4 kit on my last truck, and I hated how the front leaf spring mount hung so low to the ground. Not to mention it actually lowered my truck just a tick under 5" once it was all done. I just want to level and lower the truck a little bit to give a little better stance but not limit my ability to drive around the yard when needed.

What air shocks did you buy? Does the kit come with shocks or does it work with stock shocks? I'm interested in the air shocks tho can I get them for different height applications?

I have a 2014 4wd crew cab. Bought the 2" drop springs for a 2015 from crown suspension.. rides a little rough, have block removed and a shackle in rear, has a little rake

Post some pics up! Sounds just like mine, minus the extra door.

a 2/4 would be ideal but for some reason they don't have a 4in rear drop for the 14. they do for the 13 and 15
