That much wood!

She rides like a caddy now and sits perfectly level. Also has about 1-2 inches from the helper springs touching. I think I'll just put some plate steel along the bottom of the bed.

I thought the same thing!! She will hook up a bit better now. I launched her a few times at 5-6 psi boost and there was no wheel hop... just long black lines. I only lost 3 logs off the back that I had to turn around and get.

Fire wood for next winter. Needs to season a bit.

No sir. I like the way she sits in the front. Just the camper and tow package make the a$$ stick up too much. But, she sits at the same height (almost) with the wood in the back, or a 27ft TT on the back.

I've been thinking about taking the truck down to a suspension shop and have the rear dropped 4in and bagged.
