    Looking for some suspension insight for my particular needs and would appreciate any suggestions. Im driving a 2019 MT DCLB with decker drawers, sliders/skids and a go fast camper thats expected any day. I want to keep things light but realize right now most of my weight is in those drawers. I’ll be adding front (aluminum) + back bumper (steel with swing out) and am fully loaded with gear. Everything from surfboards, camping gear to multiple large cases of camera equipment. Plus everything else to “live” in the truck for months or years at a time. I want to upgrade to 285/75/16’s MT’s and would need to be able to clear those. I don't understand much about suspension so I figured I’d ask here what would be recommended for me to hold my setup well. Its also worth mentioning that I don't plan on doing overly tough trails and would not be seeking out rocks to crawl over and bash into. I just want it to be capable when needed and make sense. I plan on taking the truck to Patagonia but likely not for a few years until its paid off. I’ve lived part time in Chile quite a bit anyway over the last five years and traveled latin america extensively so I know what i’m in for. Since the truck will be leaving the US and going on such a long journey I don't want anything overly complicated and the less that can go wrong the better. I’m already worried about it being on the flashy side and the 3rd gen being overly electrical.

    Thanks in advance,
    Blake

    The Eibach stage 1 kit paired with leaf pack upgrade in rear would get the job done and cost less than $1,000. The shocks do not require service, so you’ll have no worries on the road.
