Default Scotts lowering collars

How much will these lower the front and what else is needed to make these work?

trust me if you have higher miles your better off going with the belltech drop struts. The collars work be repositioning the spring on the shock which in turn lowers the truck. THing is these front shocks are not meant to be lowered on. Ride will start ok then get worse and worse. Your ride and cornering will be better with going to belltech front drop struts.

also you will need djm upper a arms.

Hey Nathan, they're suppose to drop it 1". The stock height is 32.5".

God bless!
