Lowering the rear of a 2016
Has anyone had the dealership lower the rear of their new pickup to a more daily usable height?

Re: Lowering the rear of a 2016
I did one last year on a 2500HD for an older customer who loads large model engines for shows. We removed the blocks and used 2" lowering shackles. We had to clearance the bed supports because the shackles were hitting and making noise, other than that it was fine. I would start by removing the leaf blocks on yours and see how you like it.

Belltech kit will come with shackles, and spacers for the ubolts to make up the difference from the 1 inch factory block being removed. That and Belltech shocks and you'll be set!
