Suspension lowering alternatives

[ogdobber]

I can’t see ever using this, or even know what it is exactly for but has anyone ever repurposed it for something else? Like maybe a jack system for changing tires or possibly for levelling on an overland camper conversion?

Are you refering to the suspension compression system? I am sure it could be used for other things, but I am simply removing mine...

Yes exactly. Gotta be a good use for it

It for lowering ride height so truck fits in an airplane. I pulled mine off but am keeping in case I can repurpose for something else.

Right, trying to figure out if anyone has done anything innovative with them

Some one used theirs on their trailer to make their tongue wheel adjustable. I would like to use mine plus two more too suck a wheel or two down. Say one whole side down for side hill traverse (additional safety) or say to suck the back of rig down when going down steep bank.. or opposite (front axle down going up steep bank).

have not thought it fully thru though

Mule Offroad used the spare tire lift cylinder to raise/lower a deck out of the rear enclosure. I assume you could use the suspension hydraulic line instead, to do something similar.

See the video at 4:34, and you can see the hydraulic cylinder repurposed to raise the deck.
