Lower the rear to level the truck?

[fahrfrompuken]

Been thinking it would be great to lower the rear of the truck to level it out rather than raise the front. Anyone know of a way to do this? Truck is a 2022 XLT Hybrid

You can remove the upper and lower spring insulators. This will lower it about 1 inch and level it out.

Is that a good idea? Would result in metal on metal contact.

I did it metal to metal but I would suggest getting some fuel hose and cutting in down the middle and slipping it over the top and bottom coils

Being a big fan of lowered trucks I wouldn't remove the isolators. Just throw two sand bags in the bed, it'll bring it down and it will ride better.

Want more low? More sandbags.

Did not think of adding weight to the rear. Thanks for the idea.

This being a hybrid, just remember that the extra weight will reduce your mileage more than you'd like, especially in the city with stop and go driving.

I'm willing to bet that there wouldn't be even a microscopically measurable difference over 10,000 miles.
