an easy way for towing considering if you have aftermarket bumpstops, couldn't you get the 4 inch stroke long ones for towing and pump the psi up to 400?

I know this is touted as fully functional. But it doesn't sound good to me as the answer. Now I may do it anyway as an additional towing support.

This was advised against as it is more a "temp" measure than a real solution.

I've tow'd plenty of times driving on the 2.5 stroke bumpstop, it does well and thats only with 120 psi in them.

Our Rogue Racing cantilever kit is at powder coat right now after preliminary fitment. Should be going back on the truck shortly!

Hurry up and tear up some dirt/sand... I am dying for some real world reports on the rear suspension setups. Everyone keeps talking about the new setups they are releasing I am wanting real world feedback not from the guys making it.

I don't doubt for a second that it works well. But your use is with a truck that is a competent hauler already. If that competence is reduced by this mod, I would like to restore it and use the bumps as helpers.

T-Bone - as stated it can work but is not a real solution. Using the bump stops as a suspension item is really not what they were designed for. But as you have stated it can be done.

If it was me I would prefer to have the airbags and or other solution that is a hardy fix. But to each their own. Cheers
