There are systems that make the whole driver side one gull-wing door and then lower you down. Not sure what the budget is, or what that would cost. Not sure what part of the country you're in, I'm in the northeast and saw a company from NJ that did a super duty like that. They may have some lowering ideas since they do this stuff.

That's a 9 month wait and $40k minimum AND they only do GM's now. Plus, the last couple of years their quality has gone way down.

No, not even close to 7", you must be looking only at the rear. The front has no more than 2" to the bump stop. My 2019 only has 1-1/4" but it uses a larger, softer bump stop than your 2020. The front is where it's challenging, the rear is easy.

can’t get to the front so yes, looking at rear. But not looking for what can’t be done.

You can get an inch lower from smaller tires but go look at your truck and see how close your axle sits from the bump stops at static height even with no load.
Mall crawler and vape lounge?.....lmao if you see it that way. Let the professionals figure out his needs before you start judging.

I would try reaching out to these folks since they should at least be able to give you an idea of the potential cost.

Apparently you have never seen the show! They do some excellent work, and I believe in an episode I saw recently, they fixed up a van to be wheelchair accessible.
Not inexpensive Im sure.​​​

Guilty as charged, I don’t keep up with the automotive world by watching random tv show featuring some shop that specialize in gawky mall crowlers.

For the love of god can you just move along somewhere else. The OP is asking for serious advice and people are trying to point out the options to really lower a super duty to the ground.

As usual your injecting your useless opinions that don’t contribute to the thread

just move along already

if OP wants to waste his money and have some TV mall crawler fabricator make “his ruck slammed to the ground”, have at it.

what he needs is a professional outfit that is certified and experienced in making mobility conversions, not some random group of people who make truck version of donks
