Went for about a 200 mile drive yesterday through the south Texas hill country to get her impressions of the ride. Her thoughts were positive. Stiffer than air but more planted and sporty feeling. She approved. I snapped these when we went to look a property outside of town. It was a little too far out of town, but still worth the drive.
![]() ![]() We did run into one problem though. Entering the highway on an on ramp it bottomed out HARD. Now, this was mostly the construction crew's lack of caring, but still. They left the on ramp at normal road height and scraped off the tarmac entering the highway and left a huge difference in height with no slope to transition. Must have been a 6inch drop. Truck felt like it got airborne and came down hard. Got light rubbing on the fenders/tires and heavy rubbing on the rear fenders/tires. So, I'm going to remove the rear 15mm spacers and that should cure that. I also bumped the stiffness up 1 notch in the front and 2 in the rear. I might raise the truck up a half inch all around. But damn does it look so nice at its current height. What do you guys think? It's not a daily, so I'm leaning towards leaving it low...
