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.

 

That would be awesome! I appreciate it

 

Pictures aren't going to win any awards.

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?

I tried trading my lightning for this when it was on ebay! Suspension is different between the two body styles I thought?

 

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.
