    2016 peterbilt sitting like a monster truck on front end. I want the low stance and control over right height also. Should i go with a less expensive kit or with a more expensive one? Also i cant find anyone in south Carolina who has experience installing these kits. No semi custom shops here that i know of. Thanks guys, just wanna ride low and look cool.

    Your playing with fire, your going to throw the pinion angle off. You will get vibration and wear out U-joints. Have you tried putting on all low profile rims and tires ? 255.75.22.5 comes to mind.

    Something like this? IMG_7431.jpeg IMG_7432.jpeg This is how it looked when I bought it. It’s almost a foot lower now than when I bought it, and yes, I run this truck everyday, and it doesn’t stay on the pavement.

    I ran one, ride height was adjustable, and it rode really good. The 4 bag kit is very high quality I absolutely recommend it.

    Forgot to mention Jimmy Ferrell has a website and Facebook page where you can see his work.

    He isn't some back yard chop shop. They build some serious large cars.

    First, please tell us whether this truck has any electronics out front, like adaptive cruise and collision avoidance etc.
    I have a 2021 567 with that crap on it and those electronics will not like the change.
    If no electronics, just go for what you can afford. Get your feet wet in the look cool world. Take the seat out and sit on a milk crate so only the button on your cap is visible. Visor the thing down to a 1/4" slit and tint the windows. Put 255s all around on it. Ya,......post some pictures of the build.
     
    Diesel Dave Thanks this.
