    Trading ‘15 for a 20.

    Sold the OEM wheels but still have the other OEM stuff. Just AAL’s, shocks, coils and small blocks. Problem is tires won’t fit if I drop it back down so would have to get new tires. Tread almost gone on currents set so that would likely be close to a wash.

    Definitely take the lift off!

    First the lift will fit your '20, and secondly any modification from stock will reduce your trade-in value.

    If you're doing your own work to swap stuff; I def would. It likely won't be counted in your trade in value, and many dealerships will actually subtract from the value for mods. Then you can also sell the stuff, and recoup at least a small portion of their value back.

    If you don't do you're own work and would have to pay someone to remove... then it's probably not worth it. The labor cost would offset any gain or loss in value.

    Good point, I do all my own stunts so I often forget people don't.
