Re: lowering ridge - bad experience
There is nothing wrong with lowering trucks and cars if the proper parts are available...when I called the installation shop in Anaheim, CA they failed to mention the bad camber issue for the rear axle...there is a fix for the front axle...a longer bolt for the strut...the allignment shop took care of that for about $70...the front was within normal specs.
I am having the blown strut replaced under the Honda warranty...the dealer took it out and determined that it was just a normal wear and tear issue ( and they know the truck was lowered)...so did the experts at the allignment shop that swapped it back to stock springs. There are no signs of abuse and I drove the truck very carefully, due to the rougher ride cause by the new set up...never hit a pothole.
In my mind, a truck that is supposed to withstand a cargo weight of 600lbs, should be able handle a lower spring set up, without any issues...but again, I am not an engineer.
I will definitely consider lowering again, if the proper parts will be available...also, the rear should be lowered about .5'' less than the front, since the tow package will sag the rear a bit.
