    We are the subject of the entire thread, and we are an official vendor. I was just educating people on how much weight a bumper can add, because not many owners know until after they install a bumper

    I use this method as well, and it's also good to spray the whole pack down if you don't care about Instagram pictures. Fluid Film crawls, it's great.

    This keeps rust at bay which can choke the performance of the pack over the years

    Who gives a shit if it's sticky and dusty. It's an off road truck, right?

    Yes I have a HC rear bumper with a swing out I have yet to install and a truck cap that I always have on the truck as well as the occasional camping trips with the RTT.

    The swing out bumper with cap and the RTT would be great with our HD offering, lift would be around 3" at ~700lbs

    When my stock springs go to shit I'm removing the lift block and going with the ICON RXT's, as mentioned multiple times here. That's a great deal too.
    RXT's offer 3 options to set up and I haven't read of anyone complaining about squeaks.
    It sounds like the only thing you'll want to decide is whether or not to leave the overload spring in.

    It really depends on your lifestyle.
    For my example, I don't carry any weight but I wanted more control or stability for daily driving.
    So kept the stock springs with a lift block (for now), Medium OME shocks and a Medium Sumo Spring (black) in case I want to carry a load.
    With some wheel spacers and a 1 size taller tire. It works.
