[QUOTE="Snowsled, post: 1263700, member: 25287"] If fully inflated E rated tires and air bags do not seem to be handling the load, you are trying to haul too much. Buy a used F250 2wd to tow and haul for the summer. Trying to make the Raptor do something it was not designed for is a huge mistake. Get the right tool. If you insist, just source some heavier F150 springs, or have a set built, they are not that expensive. Again, if you are going beyond what a set of uprated F150 springs can handle, that should be telling you something... It isn't POWER you need for towing, it is load handling capacity, brakes, suspension, proper tires, wider mirrors. Power is the last criteria for hauling, it aint a race son. For what you would waste on changing the Raptor back and forth you could easily pick up a more appropriate hauler. That is the right answer. [/QUOTE]
