My buddy has an 09 4.8, with adaptive drive (sport button by shift lever) and bought a set of Hartge springs and rear links ('cause of self leveling rear suspension) which lowered it 2". Struts and bushings are all stock.
The new springs make the truck look great, but it rides terribly. He never has suspension in sport as it is too rough over small bumps.
His alignment and tire wear is probably better than my stock 4.8s (I'm on my second set of 20 RFT Dunlops @ 18k and he's still going strong on 22" non rft's at 10k, so while the overall performance of the suspension from an SUV standpoint may be diminished, the effect on running gear is nominal.
Thsi is not a simple drop, and his was done by a high end Hartge dealer. There are many on here who have dropped their X's, it's all about how you're goign to use it and what you like in a ride.
