This has happened to people that drive just on the highways and not offroad at all so I don't see how you can say that honestly. I wonder if this has happened to supercrews at all vs the supercabs.

Then explain how this happens just going down the highway?

Huh? No, this has not happened to people just driving down the freeway.

No need to explain that since it doesnt happen just driving down the highway...

Maybe it could happen on a freeway if your freeway looked like this...

Guys that have claimed that have retracted their statement when they realized they've overloaded the payload capacity

Well on the other forum there were people "claiming" to have just been driving highway and no offroad and ended up having a bent frame so I was just curious. I'm not even going to worry with the RGP stuff then especially since I haven't seen any real proven things of the screw having this problem.

Enough said...we forgive you!!!

Either way the RGP setuP is ideal if you don't want to risk bending your frame offroad. If its happened to all those people it's obviously a problem.

Its killer I saw it on a truck last week.

The bent frame is an equal opportunity offender. We have seen it countless times on both platforms. Even if you don't ever opt to buy one thing from RPG. I would still recommend you put something on there even if it's from another vendor

Over 70 thousand miles on and off road and zero bent frame issues using stock springs, shocks and tires with a lightly loaded bed. However, a good bump stop upgrade would be a great mod and RPG looks like one of the best to me...peace of mind and of course pay-to-play. One question I have though is with the stock set-up the bump stop hits the strike pad inside of the spring pack closer to the axle center and with the aftermarket it is far outside of the spring pack towards the end of the axle-has anyone looked into the possibility that the increased leverage could cause additional stress on the axle housing resulting in leaks/bends or is it a non issue?
