Yes. I didn't have to go any further than just having it sit against the bed. My spring clamps on the front of the springs were on when i did it and still are. Don't know if that helped or not. Mine didn't hit the rivet.

It actually rides better. Not stiff like it was when the t-bars was up. I have bilstiens up front so that really helps alot. Rear still feels the same as before. On my past dmaxes, when i lowered the t-bars down it rode like a boat going down the interstate when you hit a dip in the road. Those trucks all had stock shocks up front though.
got to love new billsteins up front, with a stock height truck on the low side they ride like a dream. little to stiff out back tho... :roflmao:
Really nice look. :thumb: I'm having my fenders modified hopefully when it goes in the body shop. Was actually looking to do the same thing. Don't know how lucky I will be with 285/65/18 on rim with +18. We shall see.
Have you towwed with it yet?How much weight/what do you tow with it? I want to do the same thing but, still have to pull my fifthwheel, and boat all summer. Jamie
Thats how I did it ^^
And my drop shackles are 1/2" from hitting the bottom side of my bed. :thumb:

Easiest way I found was to remove the last 2 bed bolts so you can raise it abit. Otherwise the bolt heads hit the rivet. Gotta pull my ds leaf tomorrow since the bolt is stuck in the bushing.
