Leveled with 3100 lbs

This is my F350 CCLB with 3100 lbs in the back. For everyone wanting to level their front ends you will definitely have saggy looking backs if you haul any weight.

Unless you bolster the rear to better carry the weight when required...

One can add Timbrens, double or triple the number of upper auxiliary springs, add air bags, or add Torklift upper Stable Loads. There are many options avaliable for people that want a leveled truck when empty but still want to be able to carry a load from time to time and not have their headlights pointing at the sky.

Is that the front of the overload? Is the rear one touching?

Yes that was the front of the rear spring. The back looked about the same. It wasn't touching.

No those aren't factory. Mine has something similar but you have to have two tone.

No those are the bushwacker factory or oem. I can't remember the exact name. They have worked out well.

My truck levels out when I set my fifth wheel on the hitch. Close to the same weight. It also rides like a dream with it loaded. Absolute best combination I ever had. Trailer is a 2017 Bighorn 3160EL around 13,000 lbs. GTW. Haven't had it weighed but it probably has 20% or 2600 lbs on the hitch. I guess I'll have to get a picture of it hooked up.
