[QUOTE="amREADY, post: 1401442, member: 36210"] As other's said, a bit softer tire, a bit more weight in the back will help. Will it help enough, that is another question. The pickups I used to drive all the time in the bush had the welded box on the back. Not sure how much those mining boxes weigh, but a lot. They always rode nice. Sometimes we'd run a sheet of 1/2" steel (instead of a box liner). They rode nice too. Pretty slippery to put stuff on, but if you were dropping equipment in there, you didn't need to worry about it much. The tent and racks at 200 lbs is just a guy riding in the back. Basically nothing for a pickup. But add a full tank of gas, some recovery gear, some water and other gear, suspect it would ride nice. But then you are sacrificing some travel and plushiness. I have a '19, so not sure if the suspension will act different than the 17/18's. So far, the truck handles different from anything I've ever driven, that's for sure. Crazy what it can do for most things. Some, well, it is a little weird and more sensitive to going too slow. Rarely does speeding up make the problem worse. (so far... pretty limited time offroad).
