New Owner Old Truck Payload

Hi All,

Great truck and in fabulous condition! Just looking for some suggestions on modifictations to help me out with my use case.

I have a fairly steep transition into my driveway that is usually fine and does not scrape on anything when vehicle is unloaded. When i am carring a light load it will scrape the hard mudflaps and a hitch if i have it in. When it is heavily loaded, but still under max weight and not bouncing on bump stops or anything, it will scrape the hitch receiver pretty badly almost to the point i almost got it stuck (2WD truck...) It sounds like some simple airbags might be my best option just to level it out when im carrying a load, but I wanted to ask the community first

I use this for lots of garden projects, woodworking etc. and not for any towing, offroad etc. especially being 2WD. I have found myself in this situation plenty of times now, so i appreciate any suggestions.

 

Air bags could help, yeah.

You could lift it.

Or if you need tires, could upsize diameter - Look into "pizza cutters" that would give extra height without too much worry of fitment issues.

 

Welcome! Air bags or check or RAS suspension.
