Towing with Deaver J66?

Be careful what you say young skywalker, that fat hillbilly you speak of has a tendency of finding out where you live and replacing your leaf packs.

 

Like the tooth fairy but for leaf packs?
Can he bring me something that'll be good for towing with only 1.5" of lift?
I'll leave my Deavers under my pillow.

Looking into the RideRite/Daystar combo

 

He can, actually.

 

Why would ask a question and then answer it shortly after? And J66's aren't designed to flex they are direct replacement leafs over stock.

 

Do you really not see how towing a 5x8 trailer that weighs 1400lbs total is going to be completely different than towing a dump bed trailer that weighs almost double that before anything is even put in it?

 

Likely your best (& cheapest) solution...

 

I drove from WA to FL with j66 pack towing a 5x8 trailer full and the truck full. worked just fine. the j66 sags a little now but im getting them re arched and adding a leaf soon anyways.

 

Update:

Made the trip just fine with very little sag.
No air bags necessary.
Put everything in the trailer, including the bike, and never even came close to hitting the bump stops.

 

hey, just to let you know i called deaver and they sent me a add leaf for the j66 pack and i got it installed and the pack is now pretty awesome. i recommend it.
