    Hey, all. I'm installing the Decked drawer system, the Go Rhino truck bed rack (same as installed on the Trail Hunter concept), and a CVT aluminum rooftop tent. I like the everyday ride with the TRD Pro shocks, but there will be a lot of sag with all this extra weight added. Any input is appreciated on installing HD springs vs. air lift system.

    I put airbags on mine as I don't always need the additional carrying capacity of the airbags and when I do I just put air in them. If you are always going to have your truck setup in that manner perhaps heavier springs would be the way to go. How much does the Decked system, bed rack and and CVT tent weigh? Our CVT tent weighed about 125 lbs if I remember correctly.

    2"CB shackles, bushings and 1 shim, lockerdown console vault, rear folding seat back mod, snugtop shell with opening side windows, 46g fuel tank, SDHQ sliders and hidden winch, Decked Drawers, Alcan leaf springs and got rid of the interior chrome
    I’m loaded with about 1,100lb all the time. After trying various halfass measures I researched the option of completely replacing the spring packs. There is several options for this out there and I went with Alcan. Keeping the original Pro shocks it rides silky smooth now and has no sag when I pull a boat or trailer
