[QUOTE="John M BUNMAN, post: 1624524, member: 43801"] First, I thank everyone contributing their knowledge, expertise and personal experience. That’s exactly why I joined this Forum. The problem all you “Folks” are going to need to have a room at your house for me :) If I tell the boss I have to spend another $$$ on my $75k Raptor it could get Ugly! It’s not like when she glances in the Gun Safe and says “Is that a new gun???” I can get away with “Oh Noooo Honey, I’ve had that gun forever, I just moved things around, it was in the back!” ;) we r both public servants with Shallow Pockets, 5 kids we can’t get off the FNING Payroll and 3 grandchildren :) #2 My wrench knowledge ended with my 79 F150. I could change the water pump fuel pump adjust the lifters etc. Now I can’t even find the fuel pump :( #3 I am blessed to be living in a location that when I wake up I can go 50-200 miles into the desert or be stuck in snow 100 miles into the Mountains above St George. I mostly fly Solo, so I also must be able to Self-Rescue, hence I carry a lot of shit. Gordo my 50# Ruck days are pretty much over, 28 surgeries later, titanium in my back & neck. I’m happy to still be walking on the right side of the dirt. A good example of why the Raptor is superior to any of my Jeep’s. 10hrs in my Jeep’s Off-Road, I couldn’t walk the next day. The Raptors off-road and Hwy ride is incredible, so I’m trying not to F<>k that up. #3 All that said, I think I’m loaded now at my EDC minus beer/food and a few other things that may add 50# for an extended adventure. Right now the Rear sits 3/4” lower than the front. I’m concerned that when I drop the Winnebago, on my weight distribution hitch, it will drop the rear another 1- 11/2” So do I add another leaf or go to a Deaver+3/+4?? Keeping in mind, I don’t know a Deaver from a Beaver....No I am well versed in “That” Beaver you perverts ;) Baaaahaaa Thank y’all again for your help/advice. Ps. Keep in mind, as mentioned above, I can’t F<>k my 8yr/150k ESP [ATTACH=full]166456[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166457[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166458[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166459[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166460[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
