I think that is possible. My truck was delivered on the middle setting and it was a good while before I tried the softest setting. I hated it and thought that my truck floated too much and felt like an old American luxury car. I changed it back to the middle setting and I like it much better. I even considered trying the firmest off road setting. The same goes for the tires, which are way under inflated which would degrade the handling and will cause premature tire wear.
I totally wanna lower mine too.
Well according do chat GPT, a 2 inch drop with would yield a 1-3% gain, and a 2 inch air dam to it could yield a gain of 4-8%. Depending on the rigidity of the air dam the gains vary (stiffer = better). Add to that some wheel spats, clean up underbody airflow, fill the "holes" in the stock rock rails to reduce turbulence. Gonna experiment doing a kammback or fastback with the tonneau cover as well but that's a bit more work. Adding all that I'm hoping at least a 15-20% total gain.
Yeah… they are all set on “1” … but I understand lifted truck have to be harsher to maintain some control with such high COG.
For some reason I wont get into, the efficiency gains do not work like that…
I'm talking about highway travel of course, I know that at lower speeds aerodynamics have a much smaller effect. And it's not only about the destination, it's the journey
I'm not decided on that yet, that mod would be a "nice to have" but considering the costs and the work involved, it would probably be easier to fit a detachable "body kit" for highway driving that can be removed when going off road, something that could hook into the rockrails to hide them from the airflow at the same time, but considering it's freezing here right now and I don't have an inside garage to sit besides the truck and think on how I'm going to do this, the actual mods are probably going to wait until spring, on the meantime I'm "throwing stuff at the wall" and seeing what could stick
