[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 1623756, member: 39584"] I regularly carry 1000lb payloads and go off road. As long as I have the bulk of the weight low and forward, things are good. Handling is mildly compromised. I’m not flying off jumps or rampaging through corners, but I can leave my buddies in the dust at will and I haven’t de arched my springs. It works great for moderate crawling with that weight, too. If it sags past level, you’ll need to move weight forward. I put the coolers and the water on the floor in the back seat and the heavier gear in the front of the bed. The back of the bed behind the axle gets light stuff like sleeping bags. Edit to add: This thread is relevant. In post #46 I load my stuff and measure what happens. [URL]https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/math-behind-overlanding-exceed-truck-weight-limit.76259/[/URL] I was originally planning to go with Deavers and Eibachs but delayed because I couldn't get good numbers on whether I wanted +3HD or +4HD Deavers. +4HD turned out to be the one. In the end I decided to leave it stock until I ran into limitations or broke something. So far, so good. [/QUOTE]
