    @arctic04trd it actually handles the weight up hi pretty well. I have Dakar Heavies (w/ 2 additional leaves) and timbrens in the rear with OME Nitrocharger shocks. As long as it isn't super off camber, it can go almost anywhere with the camper.

    Nice. So two AAL kits? Cause I have one and notice some sagging with full weight. Plus it handles a bit tipsy with the rtt on a shell.

    @arctic04trd yeah two AAL kits (make sure to order longer center pins) and the timbrens (so I set the timbrens to have a 3/4" gap from making contact with nothing in the camper) are a perfect combo. Yeah it rides a little stiff but it has worked great for me.

    I feel like I just saw a craigslist ad for this recently, are you the lucky bastard that bought it. Or the unlucky one forced to sell it now?

    @Nicklovin sadly enough I am selling it... I can't tell you how much I am going to miss this truck. My family has just outgrown it and I can't afford to have two trucks. It's still for sale too if anyone is interested....
