WITH SO MANY TRUCK MODELS OUT THERE, FROM VINTAGE PICKUPS OF THE ’60S ALL THE WAY UP TO THIS YEAR’S MODELS, THERE ARE A TON OF PRODUCTS ON THE AFTERMARKET TO HELP CUSTOMIZE THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM AS YOU SEE FIT. That can include lowering, lifting or leveling your truck with static or air ride components. There are definitely a lot of kits and individual parts to consider when choosing which direction is best for you and your project or daily driver, and we’ve done a good deal of research to help you make your way through the mass amount of products currently available.
The overall level of quality is vastly improving across the board, and the technological boundaries are always being pushed further. Options now have options, and there is more to gain than simple ride-height measurements after the install is complete. You can have the stance you’re after while also having the agility of a bonafide track star, and your truck can still function like a truck, and boast a heavier load capacity over stock—even after it has been dramatically lifted or lowered.
