[QUOTE="Blacktor, post: 1486405, member: 29478"] So now that the truck could power through yellow lights safely, I found I had pretty bad wheel hop. I wasn't keen on spending 1K+ on leaf springs to fix this, so I landed on what I call my "old man mod" Roadmaster Active Suspension. Since most of my driving is on-road and I tow the boat frequently, I decided to give these a try. They lift the rear of the truck about 3/4" so I did the mid perch in the front to match. They reduce squat when towing, and I don't notice any difference in ride quality on or off road. Wheelhop is reduced, but not gone on a harsh 3-1 downshift. I'm pleased[ATTACH=full]144646[/ATTACH] Moving on to the Decked storage system. This thing has been awesome for the most part. My fat 250lb self did step on the wrong spot and break some of the support ribbing underneath. It's still useable, but I don't put heavy things on there now without some sort of plywood to spread the weight. I keep tools, recovery gear, first aid, etc in here totally dry and safe from the elements. Never once leaked. The locks are cheesy though and can be easily broken.
