I wouldn't worry too much about it. Mine has gone from here to ATL several times which is about a 3.5 hour drive one way. Also been to Pioneer, TN a couple times pulling a trailer with two atvs and a SxS which was around 3500#. It's made a couple trips to Xenia, Ohio too. Mine is an 07.

I drove from Clinton, Oklahoma to Denver, Colorado (9hrs) on a 3/5 on 26s and every thing went fine. On the way back I loaded up my truck with some furniture, bags, and 4 passengers and not a problem. I do have helper bags so I came back the same way I left but with no sag! Every thing went smooth. You should be okay ride quality is not really a concern

Helper bags will be your friend but otherwise everything will be just fine.
