    So I am ordering a Fox level 3 kit for the 2018 TRDOR that will bring the front up 1" +/-, essentially 'leveling' the truck. Every so often I will end up loading it up with a bunch of gear for long camping trips or hauling some materials for remodeling. I am looking for recommendations/ thoughts to do one of the following to keep it from going nose up...

    1. lift the back 1-1.5" to compensate for the loads and not end up nose high when loaded
    2.another option that would firm it up without jacking up the ride too much
    3. thoughts/ experience on using an airbag setup that would be utilized only when the bed got heavy.

    ..or am I just expecting the impossible? Thanks in advance.

    I put sumo springs in the rear a few weeks back and man what a difference it made when hauling loads, I have since hauled loads over 500 pounds on numerous occasions and the truck barely sagged.. also added super bumpstops up front..one of the best mods I did.
