Default 2016 RCSB 4x4 lowered

I just ordered a 2016 rcsb 4x4 with the 5.0, I almost got a 2wd but I'll be using the truck to pull a car to the track on a occassion and have to park in grass pretty often. I've seen way too many get stuck with a trailer attached. I got the truck to replace my lightning. I've been searching for days and can't find anything out there for this specific truck. I know I can remove the rear leaf blocks to lower it a little. I'm looking for at least a 2/4 drop and can't find anything! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll post some pics later today. I just dropped my 2016 2.7 4x4. I did two inches in the front and only the blocks in the back. Its at the alignment shop as we speak.

Pictures aren't going to win any awards.





OEM springs and rear block





Factory springs and rear blocks removed.





2" drop springs and rear blocks removed.

Never took a rear measurement, but front was 37-3/4" oem. I am now sitting at 36" even. I expect the springs to settle slightly but I am happy with the way it turned out.

That looks a lot better for sure! What brand springs did you go with in the front?

Only difference I know of is the LCAs having a different mount for the coilover and the rear shocks being staggered. Other than that I don't believe there is any other differences.

You ever get any strange groaning from the Belltech struts? I was reluctant to use them this time because on my 13 they were noisy. I figured Id give the coils a try this time. Defintely can't get a as low as the struts for a 4wd tho.
