    Are you going to carry much constant weight?

    I’m not sure yet! For some reason it was in my head that my weight carrying capacity was somewhere around 500lbs, and that being this far over it I should get new leafs. Being that they’re 660 (even if older) gives me hope. I really just need to break out the tape measure next time I’m on level ground
    I didn’t even know they made leaf packs until a few months ago. I guarantee they’re just rebranded other leafs (much like their aal) and you’re partially paying for the name.

    I haven't made a decision yet. I don't mean this Sunday. In the Philly area, we have Sunday get togethers where we work on our trucks or get some food or both. We call it taco Sunday

    No. None. No rtt no bedrack no cap. Not even a bed cover.

    have you considered sumo springs or air bags? With air on board, air bags could worth it?

    I think the other guys hit the nail on the head with rebranded paying for name not 100% sure. But from what I have read is they are essentially oem spring rate and a little more flexy. I looked into them briefly when I was in research phase for my lift but after figuring out that they don't hold much weight I was not interested. I would venture to guess with a decent load out for wheeling and camp gear they would sag a little.

    I eye balled length wise, but I broke out the tape to get it level haha and I don't NEED end caps, but I have 2 extras so might as well put them in just to clean it up a little bit

    Not really, because it’s always a constant load, and not variable depending on the day.

    if one's plan was to not have any weight back there like @Redmann, the fact that they are OEM spring rate but a little more flexy might land him a less rough ride compared to Dakars or something similar tho

    I would just be worried that loading out for a day of wheeling or going on a camping trip could cause the bro lean. But I agree I think that in a normal everyday scenario these would be ideal!

    yeah I agree with you there, it all comes down to how the truck will be used, if ur only going to load up camping gear a few weekends out of the year then they might be a good option. does @Redmann even camp? hahaha

    I know for me I want it to sit level when I load it down so a little rake is a good thing.

    Long screwdriver on various parts to detect the sound.

    Either put your ear to the end of the screwdriver or tape a milk jug with the bottom cut off to make a megaphone, thus allowing you to not have to put your ear on the screwdriver.
