Not really a 4x4 so it gets away with it
I know what you mean though. When we were setting it up we had it a bit lower and it looked really odd. Without a bit of wheel gap it looks broken.

Sure can, was planning on it as soon as I get out to my shop.

The impact on the ride is not worth the look, unfortunately. I do have the factory warranty through December, and CPO after that, so will be reverting it back shortly. I bought this because of the excellent ride and handling characteristics, I think if I want to lower it I will have to get the KWs if I want to retain or enhance the handling.

Does it really help that much? I figured the chassis was pretty stiff already but I suppose it could help.

The roll bars are on my list. Seems none are listed for the 4.8is so I am concerned about compatibility issues.

Now, if I'm gonna be doing some of that canyon racing in the other post then okay!  Probably have to remove everything like back seat, sliding tray, kid seats, groceries, strollers .... 
Eh, maybe upgrade those anyways later. Just not a high priority right now. |
Unfortunately I drive like a maniac at all times and want the best possible handling so I can't settle for this. It will be fun to cruise around for a bit though.

How is the ride quality with the KWs? Do you know your spring rates? I think I will be going that direction once my warranty is up.
