    I installed a full OEM 2 1/2 lift this spring and I love it but now I need to see how it tows. I had to make a run with my 16' enclosed trailer.
    I have a full OEM lift with 884 and full dakar pack in the back, the trailer weighs almost 4000 lbs with 350 lbs tongue weight.

    The springs sagged about a 1 1/4" with the trailer on and drove great like the trailer wasn't there. The only bad is now the trailer is softer than the truck so the trailer can move around more because you don't feel the bumps in the truck so you have be aware of that...

    And that's it they work great...... With the 884 the truck sit level with the trailer so for towing 884 or 883 would work great...

    Nice, truck doesn't even look like its sagging. Looks like you still maintained a little rake with the trailer. Do you have the AAL in your Dakar pack?
