The CV subframe can be installed higher on the frame to lower the entire assembly. But yours is installed already, right?

Lowering springs? Yes. Contact Eaton Detroit Springs.

Air shocks? Yes.... Gabriel Skyjackers.

Tire stagger.. 275/60 in back and 235/60 in front is about one inch difference. Doable.

as of now i think the tires are 215 45 17's all the way around. i think running a taller tire in the rear will be my first step. then i think im going to air shock if that dont do it. the tires on it now are super low profile. that will be my first plan of attack, then lowering springs, but i like how the front looks so tires and shocks first. thanks for the input
