Hello there!
Did you already lifted up your truck?
If you're still considering doing this, remember that it may affect the stabilization and the aero dynamics of your truck. The lower the better...
So, it's no big deal with that, but remember that aero helps on fuel economy.
Probably your truck will "drink" a little more gas or diesel when you change.
Or you can put some aero enablers to compensate that.

I haven't done it yet, but thanks for the info. I will keep it in mind.
