    I haven't heard of those. Do they work better than stock and not ruin the unloaded ride like sumosprings?

    Well they do nothing for payload, but they do prevent harsh bottoming out. However, for your application, maybe something like firestone airbag system. Pretty affordable and will give you some increased payload.

    edit: @Lord Humongous has a system like that on his truck and he tows quite a bit

    yeah i can't swing $700 for bump stops. I'll have to look into air bags and a compressor I guess!

    I really like my firestone ride rights paired with daystar cradles. They're out of the way when you don't need em but handle great and always %100 level no matter your load.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but bump stops are designed to stop the suspension bottoming out and shouldn't affect anything until the suspension is completely loaded?

    That's true. But these trucks sit so low in the rear that they are close to the bumps 24/7. Towing a boat, I hit the bumps a ton hence the need for something like sumosprings.

    How would one go about dipping the lug nuts? Wouldn't the derp just come off with the socket?

    probably dipped without removing the wheel, and just sprayed the whole thing with the lug nuts installed.
    That's what I did on my previous truck, but every time I had to change the tire, the paint would be stripped off the nuts.

    To remove sunroof open up to the vent position.

    Peel back the rubber accordion. There are 2 screws on the each side. One in front and back.

    Before you loosen the screws take note on how the sunroof sits in relation to top of truck. This will ensure you put it back at the right height. Loosen screws and pull sunroof out of top of vehicle.

    Now you can work on it without being upside down.

    I will try to post a few pics.
