Its not common sense for a vehicle branded 'Dynamic SE' - In any even I'm confident it will fix my one minor gripe about the way this thing delivers power.

But wondering if you, or anyone you've seen has done anything to lower the 'access height' even further? And perhaps making the standard ride height closer to the access height? Most want to raise this thing I'd like to give it a better stance for a bit less body roll during 'spirited driving.' to be clear, I know its no sports car. But I've left it in access height a few times and was careful to not go above 35mph to keep it from raising itself, and I love how it feels.

Unfortunately I do not have a soft close rear tail gate (and wish I did as I always feel like I've got to slam the sh*t out of it to close it). But it may give me the pop open option so that's good I suppose. I've seen (I think) Vulcan do a retrofit and its on my to do list some day. Clear sight is a long term potential add as the hardware cost and work to run the wiring is more than I can foresee investing anytime soon.

The IIDTool can change these base settings to raise or lower the vehicle - it takes a minute or 2 the first time and under a minute afterwards. There is also a memory for 3 pre-programmed heights once you are happy with your changes, so you can go back to stock, lower for extended highway and higher for larger off road tires in about 30 secs. The IIDTool is not quite as instantaneous as the Llams but it costs less, does much more, requires no install, and leaves everything stock so you won't have any additional components to cause issues.
