    I’m picking up an RSI smartcap and a GFC super light roof top tent pretty soon and I’m not sure how to set up my suspension. I’ll be carrying a bit of gear in the bed as well as an occasional dirt bike on the hitch.
    I don’t want to add a lift, but I’m sure I need to do something with the leaf springs. Anyone have any thoughts

    Ride Rite Airbags work well, do a search and a ton of info pops up.

    Okay, so a couple things. If I go airbags, would a cradle be optimal? I still plan on doing “some” off roading, or at least need something for flex.
    And if I go with a new leaf pack, does that affect the ride with no weight?

    I have a full gfc with allpro off-road standard leaf pack. With the gfc probably sitting at 2inches of lift. I add air lift helper bags for gear. I’ve wheeled pretty hard on them a few times, haven’t broke yet.
