Yesterday i traded in my my silver 14 SLT quad cab which I loved but it was time for a bigger cab. Picked up this 2017 1500 Crew Cab Big Horn. From what I can see someone has installed leveling springs in the front. They are sliver powedercoated. I've owned 4wd trucks, diesel duallys, but never a 2wd with a leving kit. The truck feels huge compared to my slt and makes me think that I am driving a 4wd. Love all of the added options and my kids love all of the extra room in the cab.
Three downsides i can see so far.
1. Front suspension is much stiffer which is understandable.
2. 3.21 rearend is less than desirable for this truck even when you are not hauling.
3. Fuel mileage difference is huge so far around town. My slt was averaging around 18.5 to 20 and this truck is struggling to average 14.5 to 15. It is not a daily driver but I still hate to give up mileage.
