[QUOTE="pbtjrlmrt, post: 1502250, member: 31858"] Thank you for the correction. Yes the BOLT kit. Stock payload is 1100. Rear spring mod will increase the ability to carry load by 6-700lbs without squatting past level. Without the trailer connected I will be sitting at exactly stock height due to my recovery gear and off road sundries weighing around 100lbs. According to Deaver the rear will behave much better than stock without the trailer connected and I can tow without squatting beyond level. Seems like I will be able to blast through the desert and ALSO overland my trailer. They did not recommend their listed springs as they are too soft for towing...doesn't matter SD or HD...their words not mine. Think of it this way. Guys that add the listed Deaver springs report fantastic results blasting through the desert. This is accomplished by stiffening the rear springs...simplisticly speaking....which will also have the effect of reducing rear end squat and increasing payload...guessing about 300lbs....my mod is simply an additional 300lbs of what you get with the list springs. Just enough to be able to tow a trailer for over landing and still retain Raptor qualities. What Deaver can do with increasing stiffness while also increasing progressiveness is impressive and necessary to find the right balance for any given need and in my case to create a unicorn...LOL [/QUOTE]
