I don't want to ever see it again when it's gone...
I will give you 18k as it sits now and you won't ever see it again unless you come to Colorado. LOL!!

King, what block are you putting in once you get the leaf spring pack? Your stock?

Stay tunes guys..

I currently have a 4" block.. Sagging started months ago after my first tow.. Which left me sitting 1 1/2 inches low..

Now after the 800lbs+ I don't know how much of a sag I'll be left with.. Got about 400lbs still back there now..

Will be adding a 5" Atlas rear leaf pack.. Then the Firestone airbag... 5 gal tank.. Ect.. Adjustable from the cab..

I've been looking at the atlas springs. I couldn't believe how much the back was sagging the other day when I hooked up to the car trailer. My leaf springs are tired I reckon

Nothing worse than a sag that doesn't go away when the weights gone.. Figure the atlas would be the way to go and not try to save a tired OEM leaf pack

King, it might not help you, but a few years ago, I put some leaf spring type thingamajig on my truck to help with loads and towing. I tried to find them online at Summit where I got them, but can't find them now. It also helped with handling on turns. But, hey man, I can tell by reading your's and other's posts here - I know nothing!!

You are talking about helper springs.. I looked into them a while back... My issue is 4" rear blocks.. They only make your truck look good...

Towed a dump trailer today.. I already have a Nasty sag.. Might as well continue towing..
