Probably gonna need bags, just hoping not. This pic is before the leveling kit, 850lb tounge weight. Also note I probably have 2-300 additional lbs of gear in pick up bed.







I am hooking up the Airstream this coming Friday, we will see. Any wagers on the sag?

hmmm…..strange

i guess no one told my truck it should squat with a loaf of bread though

Because i had around 3,000lbs of **** in the bed of my truck just last week and it sat 1” higher in the rear than the front

and the truck has a 2.5” level….when it was completely stock that load made it ride around with a saggy ***

go figure that one out but I’ll just keep working & enjoying my truck while you stay salty about it lol

Effective November 12, 2023, it will be illegal to operate a "squatted" vehicle on South Carolina roads (SC Code Section 56-5-4445).

"Squatted" vehicles include those with a front or rear fender raised four or more inches higher than the other.

SC law enforcement will only issue warning citations for the first six months after the effective date.

On May 10, 2024, drivers will begin to receive tickets for violations. The new law outlines the following penalties for violations:
1. 1st Offense - $100 fine
2. 2nd Offense - $200 fine
3. 3rd Offense - $300 fine and a license suspension by the Department of Motor Vehicles for twelve months from the date of conviction.

To read the legislation (S. C. Code § 56-5-4445) in full, please visit: https://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t56c005.php#56-5-4445

North Carolina made the modification illegal in 2021.

I agree I thought it was a lot for the amount of weight maybe 1200 pounds in the bed and the boat can’t be more than 3000. I only tow a couple times a year and don’t do it at night, Unloaded It’s about a half inch higher in the rear.

I wonder if I went to low with the drop on my hitch, too much drop? That might add more tongue weight?
