A couple more pics.
I adjusted the suspension a few more times to get it dialed in where I want it...I think.
The width of the fronts means this is as low as it'll get. Fenders are sitting on the tires in this pic. Rears have more room to spare. Ride quality is good, comparable to a stock ride. Slightly noisier due to the spherical bearings in the camber plates.

So custom air ride suspension from Open Road Tuning.

Well, that is the beauty of air suspension. He can raise it up for normal driving or to go over bumps. The picture is at full drop.

Lol would suck but since his front tires are resting on the fender wells, I'm sure he would figure it out real quick!

Most of these suspensions now days can be set to automatically raise the car as soon as the ignition is turned on or the car out into gear.

I'd be afraid to drive that , what about dips in the roads especially at intersections.

Come on guys, it's adjustable air suspension! You can raise and lower the car to your preference. Pictured is full drop, not sure how his is setup, but assuming it can be raised and set to stock height and probably higher than stock height.

So, you drive it around normally then when you park the car for shows or whatever, you drop it all the way down.

My DD is a RAM truck with factory air suspension. When I park, I lower the truck which is about 4 inches lower than normal. No need for side steps to get in. I also have two offroad modes. Offroad 1 lifts the truck 3 inches higher than normal and offroad 2 lifts the truck another 3 inches essentially like a 6 inch lift. I can also set it to aero mode. At 65 MPH, the front drops down for more aerodynamics.

All of this is correct. This is at full drop. Ride height is about 1.5" lower than stock. If I have a steep driveway or something that looks questionable, I can go higher.
The car is set to automatically rise to normal ride height on engine start, if it's not already there.
At the height shown in the pics, the car won't even move. At least not willingly. LOL

So custom air ride suspension from Open Road Tuning.

Bruuuuuuh, I’m soooo jealous right now haha. You have it poised like it’s sitting for a portrait painting........ Piece of ART!

Picked up the car from the dealership yesterday afternoon. They performed a triple flush on the rear diff and for the time being, it's groan free. While they where around that area, I had them check the half shalt bolts as well since there's a TSB out on them, but all of mine were tight and torqued to spec.
