Howdy, friends. I'm looking for some suspension advice. Specifically, I want to regain some height in the rear.
(I know, I know... It sucks getting old! ).
I've put a pop-up camper on and added so much weight to my rig that I've lost about 3 inches in the rear (from ~41" down to ~38"). I've dropped less than an inch in the front (from ~37.5" down to ~37").
This is going to be my norm, so I want to boost that rear height back up again.
My truck only has one main full-length spring with a shorter spring underneath. I was a little surprised by this, as I got the "Trailer Tow Packge." Guess I expected a little more "oomf" down there for a truck with a payload > 1900 lbs:
I should add that, in addition to a rear sag solution, I'm considering upgrading to the Bilstein 6112/5160 shocks.
What would you recommend? Add-a-leaf? Whole new spring pack? Something else?
Thanks!
