I have a 2018 Lariat 4x4 scab with 6.5 bed. Going to buy an ATV that weighs about 850 lb. The rear wheels will be sitting on the tailgate due to the space the Retrax takes up at the front of the bed. Those of you that carry your ATV in your bed how many inches does yours drop?

It's going to sag, it's the nature of the beast. If it's going to bug you, put some Sumo Springs on. They won't prevent sag, but will help stiffen the ride. As long as the nose doesn't light the way for comets, it will be fine

I know it's going to sag and it's not going to bug me. I also know about all the different suspension options available. Read my post. i was asking for someone that actually carries an atv to respond about how much theirs {inches) drops.

I carry a Grizzly 700 around and the sag is not bad at all maybe 2 to 3 inches?

oldguy1946

Thanks. I was hoping it would be 1 to 2 inches.

Put airbags on it and buy a little Ryobi battery powered tire inflator to leave in the truck. You can eliminate the sag for a few hundred dollars and not diminish your ride quality as much as heavier springs....just inflate them when a load is put on it.

What is your payload? My truck with a 1700 pound payload drops less than inch with over 600 lbs in the bed.

I suggest you wait and see what your truck does. Alot of variables in the payload capacity of these trucks.

I might have over inflated my numbers because in all reality my truck probably only sags max 2 inches.......

My wife says I always over exaggerate my inches LOL

payload 1600 I drop 2- 2.5" making the truck fairly level with my 800lb+ polaris 850xp.
