So Anderson ford pointed out to me that my suspension is aftermarket, and they claim it is top of the line. Anyone here know about what i got and if it effects my tow rating?
Remote reservoir shocks, but really doesn't tell exactly what the rest of the suspension setup is, the front springs have definitely been replaced though.
I can tell you though, if you're serious about putting a truck to work, you would be much better off with a stock untouched truck, mods like that are not the hot ticket for towing/hauling.
Carli is the most expensive and highest quality lift/suspension that I know of. Huge upgrade over stock. Big money.
Look at this page yours is probably one of these.https://www.cjcoffroad.com/collectio...ension-systems

Should I get any other pictures to help identify what I have there? All I know is the dealership said Carli is top of the line, but that's all I got.
I was worried about that after they pointed it out. I figure, if anything, I will have a lower towing capacity with this set up, so I may need to have it reverted to stock

Nice to know that I have a high quality upgrade. Any way I can find out some exact specs on this setup? I don't think it's a lift as the truck seems to be at stock height.

Go back and look at my last post I put a link in. I would call Carli tomorrow I'm sure they will advise you.

Yeah I'm sure it's got to be one of those. I sent them an email to see how I can identify it. Im guessing its one of the leveling kits because im pretty sure the truck isnt lifted.

Yeah, I bet it hasn't changed the towing capacity, but with leveling kits you can get some squat in the rear when towing. Does it look level or nose down?

Definitely looks level. Would that squat be a bad thing? I'll most likely be towing a 40ft gooseneck trailer with loads over 26k (or total weight over 26k. However that is calculated, still learning)
Here's a picture of the truck for reference on what it's ride height looks like.
The other thing to consider is that if you are towing commercially, a truck that squats under load, will draw extra attention by the DOT, not a good thing.

Hook it up and see how it sits. You can add air bags to the rear which will raise the rear up when towing if needed. I don’t think you would be happy with to much squat if you tow a lot.
IMO much of any squat while towing/hauling is definitely not good, means loading is incorrect, handling, braking and tire wear are all affected.
I tow a lot, and at worst my stock truck levels out with the trailers I pull, works well.

Well that's bad all around. Once I get hooked up for the first time I'll see how it looks and make a decision at that point
I don't think the Carli coil springs change the load capacity, some of their full leaf packs do. It doesn't appear that you have replacement leaf springs though. The shocks look to be their "Pintop" shock, how is the ride? I ask because I've read that their pintop shocks can make the ride firm in daily use, too firm for some owners. They are made to perform well at speed offroad. I guess you could say, their best shock for aggressive offroad driving.
