This is what made me laugh when they touted increased ground clearance by going to the independent rear suspension over the solid axle and its pumpkin. Now you have two points of low clearance and not one.

Only relatively inexpensive idea I have is to run a taller tire, maybe 35s? Not sure a solid axle swap would work or going to geared hubs like the H1.

I haven’t heard of any options but have always thought they could be redesigned as part of a lift kit.

Geared hubs? Portals? I mean man that would be cool, but I don't think anybody makes a portal kit for under $20k and there definitely isn't a kit for our trucks so it would have to be a custom one off build on top of that...come on lotto tickets!
