Increasing your payload

What's the best way to increase my payload? Should I just get an AAL then level out the front with billys? Do they make a specific AAL to increase your payload? Will getting a 2" AAL increase the payload more than a 1" AAL?

I understand it's not a full size truck but I would like to increase the payload a little more.

Thanks

 

You can not increase payload over the factory specifications. That's not to say it's impossible to carry more weight. It's bad on bearings and seals to carry over.

 

You cannot increase payload without some pretty major modifications that aren't really reasonable. If you need more payload, probably better to get a bigger truck.

 

You need to watch out that some lifts advertise 'increase in payload capacity'. This is a false statement. They only help prevent rear sag with weight in the bed.

 

That's not all air bags do. They also "decrease" payload. So, you will squat less, but you will also carry less.

 

Because how ever much the air bags weigh, you have to subtract from your payload. Everything you add to your truck takes away from payload. Obviously, I was saying it tongue in cheek because they don't weigh much, but you get the point.
