Get air bags, you can lower it to wherever, gettin in and out, and raise it up to drive.

Air bags, there's an idea that will work.

Now is measures about 37 1/4" in the rear and about 36" in the front.

Good luck with it, I was semi-joking about air bags, simply because of the cost but you honestly may want to look into it. Good luck, hope that your back situation goes away.

I agree with Tylus - just pull the 2" blocks out of the rear end. A set of new u-bolts will cost about $20 and the install is easy. I did this to my 06 Lariat 4x4 then turned around and sold my blocks for $20 - making it a net zero mod and I love the lower profile.

I got the joke, thought it was a good one. I bought my wife an 85 Subaru that had that option. It worked great. Push a button and it pumped up two inches. When your speed exceeded 35mph then dropped back down. We junked the car when three of the four air bags leaked because the repair cost was $500 per wheel.

Just lowering the rear and installing the Bilsteins in the rear was a big improvement in both the way it rides and the level. That is why I made sure I got those pics.

Bilsteins all around and this level and rake gives me the ride I wanted. I am less concerned with the look and more concerned with the ride.
