2015 should be the same. I don't think anything was changed in the suspension

Everything is the same on these trucks. Mcgaughty is the company you need to lower a 4wd! 2/4 and thats about it without getting really deep into it.

Talk to Moes Performance, Site sponsor and has great prices and advice on what you need

Yep hit Matt at Moe's up. Although I'm not sure if the Mcghaughys kits work on the 4wd trucks. It seems like he used a different brand on his personal truck when he lowered it.

If you planned on lowering a brand new truck, why didn't you get a 2wd? Not bashing you, just really puzzled

I don't know OP lives, 2WD drive trucks- other reg cab work trucks, are almost non-existent on the dealers lots in Canada and across the northern States.
My last 3 trucks were all 2WD and factory orders, with the last two being ordered with the idea of bring lowered
Hard to fight time if you need a truck yesterday and can't deal with the hassle of a factory order.....

I will NEVER own another 2wd truck. Get stuck on a 1/2inch tall piece of ice and alone you will agree to that statement. I live in Virginia, lots of hills, curves and having a 2wd truck is like having a crush on your sister, just not right. Being that said. I have a 4wd truck and im too fat and old to want to lift it, im beyond that phase, so i do like to close up the extra gap in the wheel wells.
