A collection of components designed to reduce the ride height of a specific model-year pickup truck. This commonly includes replacement springs, spindles, or drop shackles that alter the vehicle’s suspension geometry to achieve a lower stance. As an example, such a collection might contain new coil springs for the front and leaf spring shackles for the rear of the vehicle.
The appeal lies in several potential enhancements. A reduced center of gravity can improve handling and stability, particularly during cornering. Aesthetically, the modification can create a more aggressive and sporty appearance. Historically, this type of modification gained popularity within the custom truck scene, evolving from simple modifications to comprehensive engineered solutions. The benefits can extend to improved aerodynamics, though this is typically a secondary consideration for pickup trucks.
