| As most of you know I replaced my rear air shocks with heavy-duty coil-over shocks and didn't replace the stock springs. Normally it rides fine and level, but adding the better springs is still on the to-do list. My brother just sent me these pics he took of us pulling out of the lake Sunday afternoon. The boat and back of the wagon were both loaded with stuff and the ramp is steeper than it looks in the pics. Now the wagon did not slip at all pulling the boat out, but I didn't realize she was squatting quite so low back there.....  LOW-RI-DER! Ha! Loading up the car after dragging the boat up the ramp:  And me pulling the boat the rest of the way off the ramp and into the parking lot.....! YIKES!  -Mike

| Looks like some airlifts can definitely help you out Mike. My 1A2 rides that low at times, but it has nothing at all to support its rear. | |

| Mike I am pretty sure the squat may have something to do with the size of those rear passengers.
I am sitting at 260 right now and your rear passengers have to be hitting 350 easy.NOT making
fun of anybody here but facts is facts Mike.Damn sure a truck would squat too buddy.Dont make
any decisions based on those pics.My brother is hitting 360 easy so large people run in my family
too.

| It sits pretty well on level ground when it's no yanking a boat up a hill.   And yeah we're all pretty big in my family.... Oh well. - Mike | |
