    To put in perspective what this guy said. Yes this is normal for OEM.

    When I had my full heavy 7-leaf Dakar’s on (now 6) my truck would squat .75” with 900 lbs in the back

    Ok. I was searching on my phone and only came up with last gen responses. I should have searched on my pc. I seem to get better post searches that way. Sorry to start another thread on something already covered.
