    Marie told me the single leaf provides earlier engagement which is good for consistent load. I take that to mean it gives a rougher unloaded ride, but maintains ride height better with a load.

    I'm assuming a bed rack and RTT would be that type of load.

    Does the 3 leaf AAL support that type of weight without sagging? I have read of people who got the 3 leaf and ended up with reverse rake when they put on a rack and bumper or RTT.

    Thanks

    Three leaf progressive with overload removed will decrease load capacity of stock leaf pack. You will get the ~1.5" of lift and the unloaded ride is great. Once you add weight it will sag. If you go that route I would leave the overload in. More than likely you will be adding more weight other than the rack and tent.
    Even with the overload left in it's just a temporary fix until you decide a full replacement leaf pack is what you really needed to begin with. Just saying.
