For those of you trying to reach Izzy, you can reach him at 818-645-8941. It used to be him and a partner, but he ventured off on his own. He was the brains of all that anyway so doesn’t change anything really. And actually, his new shop is much nicer than the old one.

I have the blue-ox setup and love it. Only other one I can claim to have experience with is the Equalizer brand hitch. HATED it.

Oh yeah and I would mess with the hitch until you finalize whatever you’re doing with the truck suspension and know where it will sit (height-wise) with everything on there.

Yeah man, you’ll definitely need some help back there. You can see it’s already starting to sag even without the ATV. It adds up quick. Even without the gear in the bed, you have:
450 lbs ATV
80 lbs for the two propane tanks
40 lbs for the battery
150 lbs (bare trailer tongue weight...
Yeah seriously man. There’s a lot of stuff I wouldn’t bother with. I’ve toyed with the idea of tuning and stuff like that but for us, because we do travel with the truck and trailer so much (usually 2 weeks a month or for up to a month at a time sometimes), this is a must have for us.
It’s: a)...
Take a look at my instagram and you’ll see plenty of pics of my truck with the Ridgelander cover. It’s pretty damn great. I wouldn’t change it out for anything else out there. The only thing I would recommend is to swap out the gas struts. The ones it comes with are 45lb and I changed them to...
We travel around extensively with our kayaks and use Thule roof racks with their “Glide and set” cradles. Let me know if this would work and I can give you part numbers of everything I have (less the paddleboard specific parts (which we don’t have).
*i should mention that our kayaks are Hobie...
I’m assuming that, like us, you’ll have some gear you take along to set up camp. If that’s the case then you have that 450lbs (4-wheeler + pop-up tongue weight) plus what’s in the bed. That adds up quickly if you have stuff like tools, a gas can, generator, grille, chair, table, etc). Make a...
Correct. Take another look. I mentioned that in the post:
“This is also without the weight distribution bars or the deavers. That’s just stock. ”

Here’s a picture that will give everyone an idea as to how my truck would sit WITHOUT the additional airshocks (bottom pic), then how it sits WITH them (top pic). This is also without the weight distribution bars or the deavers. That’s just stock.
Remember, trailer weighs 6,000 lbs loaded and...
Something that should be clarified here is that a bump stop solution will ride like total $#it. A bump stop is made to be a failsafe and has very little travel. Imagine what that would be like if you just put it higher. Trust me, this is the road I was going down and luckily never did. With...
Yes, this was the point. I wanted something that wasn’t “in the way”, could be removed and essentially convert the truck back to being able to do what it was intended for. This works perfectly for me. And yes I did add the deavers and man did that make a difference in ride quality. The...
This is true, but I look at my setup as a preload adjustment more than a shock. This literally just compensates and makes up for the additional weight I’ve added.

As I mentioned above, I’m close to this tongue weight with my trailer and sure, it isn’t close to bottoming out, but even with my +3’s, it still sags some. I’m sure you know this, but if you’re not towing very far or often, not a big deal. Over time though??..... the shock doesn’t like to be...
Go with the custom deavers. It’ll make a huge difference. That and this setup is the way to go. I have almost the exact same setup (weight-wise) as what you describe, less the bikes. Trailer is 4700 lbs dry and 6,000 pounds fully loaded. I’m at 770 tongue weight (before WD bars which reduces...
