    None so far
    Adding a brute force standard bumper w/ swing out. I usually run a camper also and so I’m worried about the weight being put on. I have just a AAL in the rear. Looking to probably upgrade to the OME heavy leaf pack but will that compensate enough for the weight even if I were to put on a ikamper mini rrt to?

    You are going to need a good set of leaf springs. Check out Deaver for a set of heavy duty set.

    folks run Archive, Deaver, RXT

    I’ve heard to avoid OME packs

    RXT is adjustable
    The only time I’ve heard RXT not being enough is on a truck that basically had a house on it.
    Deaver costs more and is said to ride better.

    They are all rated for capacity. You need to know your weights and go from there. If the weight varies a lot depending on use, you should consider air bags so you are not way over sprung when traveling light.
