    Thanks for having me.
    This is my first taco. I am a full size dodge guy with a couple jeeps. Just trying to move up and get rid of the jeeps.
    Have had the new truck for about a month now. Pretty impressed over the last one drove 15 years ago a 81 sr5. Lol.
    I am wanting to add a rack system to carry kayaks but I have noticed that the suspension is very plush. I don't think she could handle a couple boats plus coolers n gear for the day. Do I need to add a suspension upgrade of some sort? Or anything that not going to break the bank.

    After typing all this I think I may have posted in the wrong section. Please forgive. Thus is also the very first forum I have ever belong to.

    I'd say you could tow the kayaks in a trailer but then you'd be at pretty close to 90% of the towing capacity.

    Here comes the ban for a joke...

    Welcome to The Forum!

    How much weight do you anticipate hauling? Kayaks don't weigh too much...

    I bought the truck as a winter beater. Back and forth to work. I thought it would be better for deer hunting as well. So im guessing 700 lbs with gear

    Seems you didn’t get many answers. If 700 lbs constant weight, should be changing out leaf pack probably, or adding a leaf at least. If just occasional 700 lbs, maybe just timbren or airbags etc to prevent too much sag while driving.
