Does anyone know if they make lowering springs for this vehicle?

While I don't feel it needs them, from an aesthetic or performance standpoint, I am sure Mopar Performance, Eibach, KW, and others will have some available in the near future.

I think this car needs to be lowered a few inches. The wheels look small in the wheel wells.

Yah, I pretty much lower every vehicle I own. I think it looks great stock, but cars can always drop another 1" or 2" and still look better ;)

Question though... how much lower can this truck go with the front facia as low as it already is? I am worried the clearance will not allow it to be lowered, and still keep it practical! :confused:

I've been driving vehicles with very low front ends forever, so I'm used to it. If you exercise caution you should be okay... its just one of those things that becomes 2nd nature really.

Here's a pic of my mustang when it was lowered:

http://skank.fiendish.net/~ekool/ids/albums/Mustang/ekool-mustang-1-480.jpg I hear ya, been driving lowered cars since the late 60's, back when we didn't really have spring kits and stabilizers and all that good stuff. We just torched the springs cuz it looked cool, yikes! It's much more practical now, and in addition to the esthetic appeal, can even improve driveability and handling if done right. Driving lowered streetrods for the past 20+ years, and Corvettes the past 15 has helped, it does become 2nd nature, and easily.

Here's a few pics of a few of my own...they are LOW!
