    Always measure from the center of the hub to a fixed point on the fender. It's more accurate that way because it takes any ground variance or tire flex out of the equation.

    Adding weight behind the axle puts much more leverage on the suspension than if it were evened out in the bed. If your load was moved further forward it wouldn't squat quite as hard. The incline has a lot to do with it as well. When I park in my driveway my nose looks sky high, if I back into my driveway my truck looks like it got kicked in the ass.

    I think your truck is fine. Between the incline, the level kit, and placement of the weight this is not something I would worry about.

    Had the same issues. Just went with Ride Rite's due to load change frequency. Eventually I'll get some different leaf springs.

    They were aired up pretty good in this pic. I now run about 10 psi in them just to keep it level. And I don't have the RTT on , so that helps.

    Checkout coachbuilder shackles or a block lift for the rear of you’d like a bit cheaper option. I did 2.5 inch lift in the front with eibach shocks and then 1.75 in the rear with a coachbuilder shackle, keeping most of the factory rake.

    I ordered the Roadmaster Active HD suspension today. I am hoping it gives me an inch or so of lift in the rear and takes care of the squat while loaded. these seem like a great solution- I have read great things about them

    Curious if you ended up getting the Roadmaster suspension springs installed & if it raised the rear for you?

    Yes, it lifted the rear of my truck 1" at the 25% setting with HD springs. You will get more lift at 40%.
