    Hi,

    I'm looking to get a new leaf pack (for heavier loads) by wheelers cause there pack barely lifts the rear and I figure with my leer hardtop on it, it wouldnt cause vibration issue I've been reading about. I notice ebay had skyjacker full leaf packs for around 230-250 but it lifts the rear 2 inches but, once again trying to avoid the vibration issue people are having.

    Can you list your suspension upgrade you did where you don't experience this vibration? It doesn't have to be lift upgrade. I'm just trying to accomplish better load capacity without vibration issue.

    Much appreciated in advance.

    Have you considered Firestone RideRite Air Springs? I installed them on my 5 lug regular cab to prevent sagging under a load.

    They allow you to increasingly inflate them for whatever your load demands. They must have a minimum of 5 psi, which causes no noticeable lift. I keep mine at about 12 psi (empty) resulting in about 3/4 inch of lift. When pulling a loaded (2300 lb.) 6X10 Trailer, I inflate them to about 20 psi to bring the rear end up level. No vibrations!

    They greatly improve the ride and handling and run about $289.00.:)

    This is my problem....I just swapped out the rears with 5100s and when I have 4 regular size people in the car and go over bumps it feels like i'm bottoming out. Also, there are some bumps on the freeway that give the same effect when it's only me in the car (185lb). I've never looked into a bag system but, I think it's a little over kill for what I'm trying to do. Thanks for listing it though.
