A lowering system designed to reduce the ride height of a General Motors Corporation (GMC) Sierra pickup truck. Specifically, it indicates a four-inch reduction in the front suspension and a six-inch reduction in the rear suspension. This modification alters the vehicle’s center of gravity and aesthetic profile. Such kits typically comprise components like lowering springs, spindles, shock absorbers, and potentially a flip kit for the rear axle.
Implementing this type of modification can offer several advantages. A lowered center of gravity often improves handling and reduces body roll during cornering. Furthermore, many find the altered stance visually appealing, enhancing the truck’s overall appearance. Historically, lowering kits have evolved from simple spring modifications to comprehensive systems that address suspension geometry to maintain ride quality and prevent premature wear on other vehicle components.
