    Nope. I'm right at GVWR now loaded, no problems yet. In fact, I cant say I know anyone who has had to do frame plates on a gen 2.

    Yea I was wondering the same thing about the frame plates. I'm not sure if it is my bumpstops (timbrens) or the fact that my ass end just gained some weight but the rear of the truck will get a little bumpy.

    I have OEM bumps, OME Dakar heavies and Icon remote resis - once I added the remotes the back end seems to hit the bumps significantly less than before.

    I am running the same rear setup as you except the bumpstops. I am almost positive it is the timbrens. It would be great to put a go pro in the wheel well to tell for sure.

    I have been thinking about going with the all-pro expo springs for a little more lift. The back end has a 1/2" of sag compared to the front and that is with no load.

    Did anyone else get several virus alerts after opening those links? I opened the 2nd and 3rd links and my virus software went crazy; I'm not sure which one set it off.

    Being able to carry a bike rack (and bikes) again is muy bueno, really digging the utility of the new Demello rear bumper and how it compliments the FlipPac :D
