In my case ford put 530ish lb spring rate rear springs so even with 860lbs of TW it dropped it 3” in the back. I swapped the 750lb spring rate this past weekend and it made a world of difference. Better control of the extra sway from the independent rear and still a comfortable and planted ride...
I didn’t realize I never responded. It’s a 37’ camper. I called coilsprings.com and I’m getting my coils tomorrow and 5100s Friday. I’ll post how it goes this weekend
It doesn’t help that it’s really hot+trailer(drag)+uphill+a/c and keeping speed it will eventually overtake the cooling capacity with the so much load over time. It the fact that it comes back down shows it’s working hard. But you need to get a monitor or some kind so you can see when temps...
You should invest in a monitor to watch actual numbers. For water temp trans temp and other vital things. If your towing and the dash tells you you’re too hot usually it’s way past time to back off. Just my opinion from experience.

Hey all! I just read all of this and did a few things myself. Thanks for an amazing write up and the time taken to find them. One thing I’m very interested in is an accurate readout for coolant temp. Is that available? Thanks in advance.

In question to Mr Hall if you pump the pressure tester up to around 16psi wouldn’t the bypass let pressure past the thermostat? Just wondering

Yeah almost $100 more a tire to go LT. I wanted the ridge grapplers but they have a speed rating of 99mph. Sounds fast but when we’re in Texas we spend a lot of time at freeway speeds of 85-90 and that’s just too close a cap for me to be running. Now I’m on the Pirelli all terrain plus good...
Oh I didn’t realize that was you. Looks good I’ll stick with these and if there’s room or I decide to lift I’ll go bigger next time. Thanks![emoji1303]

I really wanted to get into 33-34” tires without a lift. Doesn’t look possible without heavy trimming. (LT275/65/20) If I’m not ever towing but maybe a 20’ trailer with at most a half ton on the back (emergency break down or something) would an E rated tire even be warranted? Should I just stick...
These are 275/65 on 18s. About the equivalent to the stock 275/55/20. If I’m right. I’m in between running 275/55 D tire 285/55 E tire or a 275/65 E tire.

Anyone running the 275/65/20 with no lift on a 15-17? 90% of the feedback I can find is on the 03-14s. Hate to hijack a thread or start a new one on the same subject
