    Significant road and suspension noise plus rougher suspension performance after hauling a trailer...

    Thanks! I don't have forscan, but might have to get it soon. Right now I just need the truck to keep working as I'm trying to beat winter's arrival with things out here. I might have to settle for a long drive to the dealer if I can get an appointment.

    Significant road and suspension noise plus rougher suspension performance after hauling a trailer...

    Thanks! That's not encouraging about the clunking continuing even after buying new parts. :( But encouraging that everything running fine despite the noise. I'll check the pocket to see if there is play. Sorry you burned your cash - that's what I hope to avoid as I have found myself without...

    Thanks! Yeah, I didn't want to use the raptor for a work truck, but that's all we had in our current situation. Would've preferred a diesel for this stuff, but couldn't find/afford them at the time. I had to tow a load tonight for about 2 hours... maybe 1000lbs at most plus 2000lb trailer...

    lol Thanks! I doubt it as he's pretty elderly and I would be the one airing them up. I did have all service work done by the dealer 2 days before the trip, including rotation and alignment. Dealer said 38PSI when towing... guessing they might not know what they're talking about? I've...

    Thanks! Is there damage that can be done to the vehicle without the deavers, or is it more about ride quality? I used a WDH on the trip from Texas to Colorado. Didn't have it on for the IBC tote, but will next time.

    Significant road and suspension noise plus rougher suspension performance after hauling a trailer...

    Thanks! Is there an easy way to visually tell if the leaf springs are flattened? Mileage is only 16,000 miles. My main concern is something catastrophic is going on with the vehicle and driving it is potentially making it worse. I rely on it 100% out here and if it doesn't run, I'm pretty...

    Significant road and suspension noise plus rougher suspension performance after hauling a trailer...

    Greetings - I used my 2019 gen 2 to haul about 5k pounds of cargo from Texas to Colorado. Everything seemed to perform fine after the trip. I then hauled an empty IBC tote on the utility trailer to fill up water...it weighed a few hundred pounds empty but about 2200lbs once filled plus 2000lb...

    Drop size for Anderson 3380 Weight Distribution Hitch on a Gen2?

    Thanks for the feedback. I bought the 4" Andersen hitch. Hope it works for everything I need. I realized also that if my truck increased height too much, I can always buy the 8" drop hitch part directly from Andersen for around $150.

    Drop size for Anderson 3380 Weight Distribution Hitch on a Gen2?

    I am buying a Big Tex 70PI-X trailer, either in 16' or 18' lengths with slide in ramps for a trip from Texas to Colorado. Going to be hauling between 3k-5k # in cargo plus ~2k # trailer weight. The ground to coupler distance on the trailer is 17.5". The height from ground to top of my hitch...

    Non-Permanent antenna mounting options for WeBoost?

    Greetings - has anyone found a non-permanent mounting solution for an antenna like the WeBoost cellular signal booster? I recently bought one for an upcoming move into Colorado this August and was hoping for something that could be easily mounted somewhere on the driver's side bed rail behind...
