Adjustable suspension recommendations
I have a stock ‘24 f250 tremor with the stock 2” front lift but I need to the ability to drop my height 2-4” on the fly. I would prefer something I can control from inside the truck.
I see airbag suspension kits for $5-7k and I’ve seen some load leveling kits for less but I don’t know if those can lower the truck. I just need the cheapest way to lower the entire truck a few inches without having to get out and manually adjust anything.
This is all new to me, so any guidance is greatly appreciated.

You are looking at $11-12k just in parts for a front and rear Kelderman setup including the air compressor and control system. Install at a local authorized shop could be another $4-8k. Install does not look to be for the faint of heart...

a cheap(er) setup would probably lead to not being satisfied and still having spent significant money.
i just don’t think it’s easy on the pocket to do this properly.
browse around and check out kelderman prices. My gut tells me the AnyLevel kit is nice too but I’m not sure on exact price installed.
Curious what reason has you looking into this?

yeah I didn’t mean my comment in a disparaging way….i love modifying my vehicles and spend money on them myself. But when it comes to adjustable height of the fly for these trucks I would leave the word cheap out because it’s not something I’d want to factor in to the decision.

he’s not looking for suspension that adjusts its stiffness like the e-click
hes looking for a truck that can adjust ride height up to maybe 4”. Much different

I’m going to be building a new home and one of the models would be slightly too low for my truck, so we’re weighing the cost of customizing the garage size versus altering my truck. If we go with this builder & model, cheapest path wins. Aside from the couple of low parking garages downtown, that’s it lol.

I had my 2023 out in Las Vegas last week... land of the Parking Garage. There were a few I dared not venture into.

I would definitely modify the garage to fit any modern vehicle today. SUV’s and trucks account for a huge portion of vehicles on the road, and it would be better to have a garage capable of housing any present and future vehicles that will come and go. When vehicle shopping in the future, you won’t be limited in options by your garage size. You won’t have to figure out a way to modify (if you can) future vehicles, and void their warranty in the process. And don’t forget the negatives that will come with full custom suspension systems.
A larger garage should help greatly with resale on the house as well.
You wouldn’t build a 1-bedroom house for a young couple looking to start a family would you? No, you’d build a 3-4BR house so they have room to grow. Do the same with the garage.
