My constant load fluctuates between 1000-1600 depending on how many bikes/passengers I have and whether I’m fully loaded with gas/water (36 gallon fuel tank). I carry a fully loaded Decked system, a fridge, decent amount of gear, and water. I have a 2" readylift in the front and had about 1/2" of squat before I installed the GFC. Afterwards I had about 1"
As of now, I have an appointment to get airbags installed next week. I’m thinking this is the right decision, but am not averse to spending more if it’s a better longterm upgrade if I decided longrun that I wanted a full-on performance suspension. I’m hoping to get back to a 1" rake or at least level, but mostly care about handling improvements from eliminating squat.
@KOM-Chaser I would bypass the air bags honestly. I put bags in my truck, very similar usage, setup, lift and sag. The bags work great, but I pretty much have to leave them at 50lbs min to keep the truck level.
My next move will be getting 1.5” lift springs for the rear instead (Icon makes a good one). This should solve my squat problem. I went with the easy insert bags as opposed to the ones posted above (mainly for cost). I would probably put them back in and hopefully really only have to air the bags up over 10psi when I tow the travel trailer or sled trailer.
I was super happy with my Firestone airbags. I did not have the same issue as @Dignon. In fact, I do miss having the ability to adjust my airbags on the fly.
I decided to pull them out eventually when I got my suspension components. I ended up getting Deaver U402S2 and Elka shocks. I live near Boulder and I’m quite often in the woods wheeling. I’m super happy with my setup, but I just ordered a high clearance rear bumper and I might need to switch out my leafs to stage 3. That’s still to be determined
