[QUOTE="london blues, post: 1565448, member: 36787"] Y'all: 2019 Gen 2 raptor. i use mine for everything: dd, off roading, light crawling, and lots of truck adventure camping (overlanding to use the parlance). i run a decked drawer system, keep about 100# in the drawers at most times, have a 1000 kw lithium to solar dual battery system in bed, and arb elements fridge, lietner rack and i kamper rtt. point is i add about 900# constant static weight over bed, and that's before any humans get in, so i am maxed at payload. long story short, i have lots of suspension sag in rear end, and this is constant weight, not like a trailer. i know full well that air bags like the firestone ride rite system will lose me much needed rear travel. the guys at my local 4 x 4 shop think they'll do what i want, esp if they install a "cup" to keep the bag "up" when the wheel needs to travel downwards when i need articulation off road. is this legit? i do not tow more than 1000# ever (just my kayak trailer,) so towing needs not my issue. going with leafs (like an icon set, etc.) and a lift would likely help too, but then leave me very stiff, and given it's also a dd, i love the soft ride!!! any suggestions? fyi: i also desire to change out to some method 703's and keep the KO2's (i love them), but go to a 37". as always, appreciate the help/advise/wisdom, but i do not need sarcasm or cynicism like: who overlands a raptor, etc.? thanks in advance. marty in kc [/QUOTE]
