My installer claims that they should settle within the first few miles of driving. I guess a matter of opinion.
I haven't gone to get an alignment yet but plan on it.
It feels fine but just to be certain.
Any tire rub when turning or bottoming out when hitting bumps? Basically any cons that you can think of from experience? Seriously considering the Steeda springs at this point to reduce body roll and over all handling.
No cons at all.
The truck actually rides better on proper roadways.
Handles better rand rides smoother.
I do feel small pot holes etc. a bit more but that was to be expected.
Has anybody towed a boat behind their Lowered ST with Steeda Springs? Have you had any issueswith brear tires rubbing??
Whats the distance between your tire and wheel well trim when lowered?
Has anyone ran into voided suspension warranty situations with lowering springs? Magnuson-Moss Warranty act aside since no one wants to get legal involved and end up costing you more money and time in the long run fighting the dealership.
No rubbing with me either. Haven't towed anything, I'll have to get the tape out to give you the gap measurement. I went with steeda vs HR because I didn't want to drop it too much. I also did the sway bar and strut tower bar from steeda and it handles like a go kart now. Small increase in stiffness like @ARC mentioned but nothing unbearable ride quality is amazing and 0 body roll even when doing an aggressive u turn or going into a turn hard.
Have you had any issues with the sway bar rubbing? I've heard several guys complaining about the bar rubbing against the springs? Also which hole did you set the bar to?
