So... I just installed the Prosuspension 272920 2" drop springs in my 2016 1500 4x4... I kinda like the look... but I'm just torn. I'm unsure if it "looks right".
Can you please provide Me with Your feedback? Opinions welcome...

Actually quite good!
Seems to be a smoother ride overall. Feels MUCH better around corners, obviously there is a lower center of gravity, and you can feel it. Less sway too. I'm pretty happy with them. I did need to re-aim my headlights as I was flashed a half dozen times on the way home the other night. I did not get flashed at all tonight, so mission accomplished!

I just ordered those springs, my truck sits about 39-40" empty in the rear. It's just gets harder every year to jump up on the tailgate to get into the bed :(

For $172 shipped it is worth the gamble to see if I like them.

I here you... it is very nice to get it lower! Looks great and will make loading and unloading much easier!!

I just installed them - still have about 1-1.5" of rake yet (depending on air bags pressure). That was my target amount and I am figuring that they will settle a bit.
37.5" rear, 36" front ground to bottom of wheel flare

Do you hit the bumpers on the rear axle on big dips/bumps or did you shorten them??

ok thanks.
I didn't take it for a ride yet, hopefully in a few days.
Did find I have a screw in the drivers side rear tire though :(

Finally had a chance to go for a test ride, I will say it rides much smoother than with the stock springs.
I can also now get up on the tailgate to crawl into the bed without jumping.
Hopefully will get a chance to see how it tows later this summer .

Now if you put a bedrug in the box,your knees will thank-you,lol. Plus when you're in trouble with the better half,the box is nicer to sleep in,then the doghouse :Big Laugh: :waytogo:
