Am I the Only One Who Wants Height to Stay High Above 25 mph?

[HaulingAss]

Not seeing how driving on high at higher speeds would equate to more crashes. Tons of lifted trucks and Jeeps around here and it has zero correlation to the number of accidents.

Lifting the truck not only raises the center of gravity a lot, it also makes the vehicles track narrower, creating a multiplier effect on the decrease in rollover stability. The width between the left and right wheels decreases by 4-5" from the lowest setting to the highest setting.

Not only does a higher center of gravity cause more accidents, it greatly increases the severity of the accidents that do happen (by creating more roll-over accidents). What people should find alarming is how easily lifted ICE trucks roll-over on the freeway. There are lots of Tesla cam videos (and regular dashcam videos) of ICE trucks losing control on the freeway and rolling over, often multiple times.

Yes! Mine doesn't even stay high til 25 adjusts back to medium once

Yes! Mine doesn't even stay high til 25 adjusts back to medium once I go like 13mph ?‍wish it was 45mph!

Remember to tap the “Ride height kept until 25 mph” words to change them to a blue color from the default white color. I think this locks in the 25 mph until you go more than 25, seems to work ok. I got this tip from a YouTuber.

Yep, I tap the stay until 25mph often. I've noticed it actually stays in high until right at 29mph for me after that.

To all the naysayers. Go find another thread. This thread is how to do something not giving all the reasons not to do it. Teenagers!

These naysayers are trying to make sure everyone operates these things in a safe manner.

No we have nags on forums too. Great. Because you know everything. Except so many things you know just aren’t so. The CT already has the lowest COG of any pickup truck. Raising it the length of suspension adjustment is NOT going to increase accidents. There are other legit reasons to limit doing so, but that is NOT one. A raised CT is not tippy, still ha s a low COG.
