    What tires/pressures do you run? I can't imagine King normally valves this stiff...

    Assuming empty bed with a spare underneath?

    Empty bed with spare, 35x12.5 KM3's @30psi, which is already a lower pressure than I'd like but is a bandaid.

    Prob plenty of pressure with an empty bed, I always ask as so many people run the sidewall max pressure and wonder why it's stiff. Does 100# or so in the bed settle it out? Maybe grab a couple sandbags and see if it smoothes it out.

    If so, time for a bed cage or toolbox :)

    Dude, throw some sandbags in the bed in front of the tailgate and go drive around...if you're upgrading leaf springs, you should try it with weight in bed...it's a truck and is meant to have weight in the bed...that's all :anonymous:

    Well, Kings are off to the pros, I can only hope the ride can be improved without a lot of testing. Truck will gain some weight and larger tires this year (hopefully) so it's fine if I go for a revalve and all four shocks, it currently sits ~50 lbs lighter.

    Dunno if this was meant for me, while I don't disagree, my truck sees cargo maybe once a year (usually some furniture), my camping gear consists of two coolers, 2x5 gal jugs, one medium sized folding table, a light tent and surfboards + misc equipment for a total of 150~200 lbs. Longer lasting camp trips add another 50-100 lbs, which is well within RXT's load range
