So it looks like there are literally zero options for lowering coilovers on these 2015+ trucks...that sucks. I wonder how a 0-3" icon coilovers would work in conjunction with a 3" lower control arm drop? You could set the coilovers on 0 or +1 lift and then tune appropriately. I also don't see LCA's for 4wd which also sucks

Lift,lower,stock,wrecked
I noticed that Belltech makes a coilover for 09-13 trucks. I believe(not 100% sure) that you could run either the older style LCA or the DJM LCA and the Belltech adjustable coilovers. The DJM arms have the older style mount for the struts(single bolt). I could be wrong but I think the only major suspension change from the previous models to these are the way the struts mount to the LCA's.
Besides having a 100% custom coilover built, that's the only option I've found.

Touching base on this again. I finally got off my *** and installed the rear Hellwig bar. With a 4.5" rear drop the bar ends aren't parallel to the ground but they're close enough for a daily driver. I have the end links screwed all the way in so it's as good as it's gonna get. I have the front bar ordered so I decided to give the Energy Suspension front end links with the 1" spacer a shot. For $25 it's worth it to see what happens. With the construction of the OEM front links it should bring the ends of the bar down just over 2"...considering I did a 3" front drop it won't be perfect but anything is an improvement at this point.

What part number from energy suspension end links did you use?

I've been out of the office on business this week...came in to this big bastard sitting in my office. I think it's gonna be time to dial a little more into the rear bar this weekend. For referfence, I'm 6'7" @ 260lbs and I can palm a basketball....so that's a big bar. lol
I'll get some pics up of this with the short end links this weekend....that's as long as it all plays nice together.
