After towing with my leveled 2021 I noticed that it squats quite a bit. Thought about bags. But I'm curious are there any other products out on the market yet for these trucks? I heard about sumo springs. Wondered if adding 1-2" with blocks will help at all. Any recommendations out there?

So you leveled your truck and now you want to lift the rear to get the rake back so it doesn’t squat when loaded. Isn’t the obvious solution to take the leveling kit off?

Those Roadmaster spring dampers do more than what meets the eye. Pretty clever piece of engineering.

It's like upgrading your shocks, your leafs, and a fair dose of Antisway. All tunable too with a couple of open end wrenches. You don't even have to remove the tire.

No, that's crazy talk. You slowly rake/level/rake/level until your truck is 8 feet off the ground and need a cherry picker to follow you around to get in. Obviously.

But seriously. Rake, squat or shit ride. Pick one.
