Just wondering if anyone has the Hd springs with the stage 3 rpg kit? I tow my 16 ft carhauler with my polaris rzr 4 on it maybe once a month . Plus when i do i have tools and maybe a dirt bike in the bed and the rear sags pretty bad. I have the front set at the mid perch so at night i get flashed about every other car because my headlights are pointing up higher. I would say total weight trailer and the utv is maybe 3200 lbs. With probably another 350 in the bed. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Don't know about a trailer but Friday had 1100lbs of fertlizer (over the axle and back), full fuel load, chain saw and some other gear and truck was almost level. I am on the top perch. With the Ford springs it looked like the rear was going to drag lol...

They are designed to work with 500 lbs. in the bed and work very well with it, very little if any sag. Just a little rougher than stock if the bed is empty.

If you do not want that rough ride ALL of the tiume you might get the National "standards" then get the longer air bump cans that work as " air bag overload" talk to jarrett or better yet go to their site and watch the video of them putting a bunch of springs and shocks in their Raptor essentially overloading it

I DO have regular National springs, if you KEEP about 400 to 600 pounds worth of gear or whatever in the bed heavy dutys would be a better choice. I'm pretty sure that's what RPG told me. Hey I could be wrong ? The longer air bump stop combined with regular duty springs might be an option for the occasional heavier load
I used to hang out at National Spring in El Cajon with the prior owners. Went camping, off roading, and did a race at Primm (after the yellow Ranger). Used to go to lunch with Bob and uncle Ron. So for me when Corey was tring to sell me on National springs I was "stop it, I'm already sold"

Glad to hear it works and you like that option. I have considered that route myself. My standards are a little low since I put the Fox coilovers up front
It's rearch or put some heavy dutys on, not sure what I will do. But the longer air bump is a good idea and being able to switch back when your off road or lower psi.
