Very impressed with pulling my 30' boat with lowered 4x4 on 22s
Surprised how well it does for what it is. .. My truck is a Lincoln LT with the 5.4 3V. For me the truck will always be slow so I'm just going to focus on a valve body, bigger tranny cooler, and bigger brakes. Any body recommend a certain cooler or valve body ? I'm not interested in a programmer to raise line pressure on front pump. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you

No helper springs but that picture is decieving... it was taken recently when I was doing some stereo work and had it hooked up to truck but not completely loaded, just enough to help stabilize as I was climbing in and out allot. I'll try to find a pic of it loaded up completely. It sags,but not nearly as bad *** you would think for a boat that weighs supposedly 9400 lbs.

wow, 9400 lbs! and i was worried about pulling my little 6k car and trailer with factory harley 22s. factory hitch?
im in the process of leveling mine right now but im going to install a slightly taller block in the back to give a little rake, about 3/4", so when loaded it doesnt go too nose high
love the set up. a buddy of mine has a lowered 4x4 on 24s.

Thankyou ! It's got a factory hitch right now but having a custom one made similar to one's used worth a roll pan to clean it up and stronger than factory. You shouldn't have any problems with your set up ")

A 4.11 gear set is going to give you the safest, biggest improvement and from there I would look at either a CAT back exhaust or full on headers. You can expect some pretty serious improvements with gears and headers. Coolers will definitely help with longevity and a good weight distributing hitch will restore ride height to normal.
