Whenever you lower your truck, regardless of whose suspension you use, you
WILL lose towing capacity. This is due to not having as much suspension
travel to handle the tongue weight of the trailer. We alway recommend that
you use an air bag assist if you plan on towing or loading on a regular
basis. This gives you the best combination of ride, performance and
loadability at the lowered height. We do offer an air assist kit and so do
a lot of other companies.
As far as the sway bars, there are no differences in the bars themselves, so
you can buy them and lower the truck later.
Sincerely,
Gary Pinkley
Original Message:
What effect, if any does the Hotchkis 2/3 lowering package have on the
trailer towing rating of a Dak? Given
the problems with towing rating of the 1" lowered R/Ts, this could be an
issue. Also, what is the difference
between the front bars for the lowered and standard height configurations?
Are the bars different or just the
end links? Point being, would it be possible to install the bars for
standard height and at a later date
install the spring kit and alter the end links as req'd or would the entire
bar have to be changed?
TIA
Mike
