Congratulations Bohunter! It should look good with some well made Rapture type grille lights!

Question, did anyone who has the Max Tow package need to add air bags to level the truck when towing?

I have almost the exact same truck but added the 36 gallon tank. I town a 4,000 lb. dry travel trailer and no I did not add air bags. The truck barely sits down in the back. I did add a rear sway bar. If I go to a larger trailer in the future I would add bags due to the tongue weight but will also get a premium WDH.

Thanks for the info,

I thought the Max Tow package came with a rear sway bar? I will be towing a 6000lb trailer and I have a WDH. What sway bar did you go with?

Max Tow comes with an upgrades FRONT sway bar. I added the Heilwig and it's on the middle setting. Lots of posts on the sway bar. Then you can get into the whole tire treads..............I did swap out and go to E load tires but that's my preference for towing.

I am disappointed that a rear sway bar doesn't come with the "MAX" tow package. I would think the rear sway bar would be the most interagal part of the tow package. I guess it should be renamed "almost max tow"....
