I got the stock tires on the truck which will lower the area, and it also raises cruise RPM.
I also removed some steel blocks at the rear axles for another 1.25" at the back. Now the truck sits level with no rake at all.
I looked into lowering up front again, and I will call on the cost of some custom springs. I need to keep at least 1.5" for hard hits.
I can drop the rear easily with shackles. Still have to make a dam.
I take a long trip Monday to get a new used 5th wheel, so I might toss something together for just this trip.
