i put on 24's on the titan and the rear gap is huge...is there a kit onthe market that would lower the rear an inch or two to level out the truck...its look kinda weird with such a huge gap in the rear...the front is fine..

If I remember correctly you can add the $22 helper springs in the rear and drop it about an inch. Not a lot but might be enough and cheap.

You could make a new set of shackles for about 1.5" to 2" drop.

Or have your rear springs dearked like m95r.

From the looks of this. by making this extension of the shackle it can lower the rear springs and thus drop the backend of the truck about 2 inches. I am no mechanic but looks simple enough.
Just takes the truck in the wrong direction for me. I am looking to go up not down.

you can also remove the rear overload leaf and drop about 2 inches. easy to do and can be replaced if necessary. the rear overload leaf is the thickest leaf on the very bottom.

That shackle looks dangerous. At least weld it... There must be a 1-2" drop shackle for the titan by now, or if not there will be one soon. A longer shackle moves the rear pivot point for the rear spring up higher, thus moving the rear axle higher (lowering the truck). If you plan on towing, plan on adding a set of airbags as well. I was amazed/horrified to see how low my titan became with a 7000# trailer attached. Airbags are going to be a must for me. My regular trailer will be tipping the scales at 8000#

I sent an e-mail to groundforce, I'll let you know if they respond. Bell Tech doesn't have an e-mail for questions.

The response from Groundforce:

"Mitch, sorry to say we are not working on any products for that truck at this time.

Kent Yozie
Ground Force-Green Air Filters

Mt Braddock, PA 15465"

I suggested that there was demand and that they might want to consider pursuing our market.

PRG only makes products to make the truck taller, nothing to lower it.

Might want to try DJM Suspensions and see if they plan on making a lowering kit. I know their kits are some of the best at retaining the factory ride, because they use a flip kit in the rear and control arms out front to get upto a 5/7 drop.

I used PRG to raise the front vs lower the back w/ my 22's.

I would rather pay to lower the bed then have someone pay me to add front fender gap with my 22"s :) No offense.
