Hey just saw this it wasnt ever in my news feed. Yeah with the weight distribution hitch and it being a light aluminum structure it doesnt squat that bad at all. I believe it is a 26 footer. I will have to double check that though. It does it easy except the gas! hahaha

Damn those old ones are heavy as hell and tear trucks up! haha But I did my springs today and I really think it will make a world of difference hooking up to the trailer. They are bad ass!

Holy cow! Looks A-W-E-S-O-M-E! Definently time for some 315/75/16s!

Never looked at the springs side by side- them 3/4's are WAY beefier.

Thanks bro! They are about twice as heavy man now standing on my rear bumper the truck doesnt even move! I cant wait to tow with them. I thought about dropping to a three inch block but I love the way it looks now so it is staying with the four inch block! I know I need 315s bad now! They will complete it! :)
