Sag in rear with two sleds on deck?

[snowslut]

Hey I recent bought a sled deck, mounted it on a 3/4 ton chev. Just curious if my rear end will sag a lot with two sleds. New truck

If it sags to much their is always airbags.

Timbren suspension bumpstops help and they are cheaper as more reliable than air bags.

barf, they ride as rough as an add-a-leaf. With my dodge dually a deck and two sleds squat it from minor rake to level. I want to level it in the summer but it would look too stupid in the winter lol.

Any 1/2 or 3/4 ton will sag with two sleds on a deck.
Buy bags and don't look back.

This is true. No one did. But I had a pocket full of change so I thought I would toss out my 2 cents.

Im with Teeroy, I had my deck on a 2004 Chev crew 2500, and it didnt sag, just went to level.

I have a Dodge dually with 2 quads and gear underneath the deck I needed to bag it. 2 sleds and gear no problem.

I would suggest your install a set of bags and be sure that your headlights won`t be blinding all the other drivers. Better to be on the safe side

I put bags on mine this summer just for that reason Glen, so I don't have to keep adjusting my headlights for the weight. wasn't a big deal with the stock headlights, but since changing them over to projectors and HID's I didn't want to be one of "those" guys. bought a ride rite bag kit and manual guage with toggle switch from the local bumper to bumper, and mounted a small 150 psi compressor under my center console. all in for under 600 bucks

gm 2500,marathon deck and 2 summit 800 and no sag on truck,usually also have a open trailer with sleds on it and with sled deck loaded ,gear and trailer and have no sag.no air bags or anything

 

[sled_wrangler]

it does look stupid in the winter .. i have an 07 1 ton with the two inch levelling lift looks great in the summer but as soon as im hauling my sleds it looks like im dragging my ass every where i go .... need air bags to keep it level !!!

I have to call BS to some of the comments

2006 GMC 2500 HD -
Marathon Truck Boss deck - 350 lbs
with 2 sleds with gas - 1000lbs
- additional fuel under deck - 150 lbs

you are close to 1500lbs

we run ait bags on both 2500 hd because they do sag and the air bags are faster to level the truck head light/driving/fog lights that trying to readjust the lights to the load..

BUT put 2 quads and connect to a holiday trailer and the back axles are over weight but air bags make it look/ ride at the same hight as empty

after a couple of trips it is easy to figure out what air bag pressure you need to ride level and comfortable

one truck has the built in compressor to adjust on the go -- thats nice - thats my next purchase a compressor

Bags are cheap and very easy to install yourself -- once you use them you would not go back.

Couldn't find any sandbags Troy?

So no one likes the Timbrens? I was thinking of those for my Dodge so Im not screwing around with air lines, air leaks and frozen compressor/check valves
