RPG National springs Hd towing?

[bstoner59]

Are you guys for real?? You really gona shit all over this guys thread?


Back on topic. I have to agree with Big Scott. The HD springs were designed to haul ass with 500lbs in the bed while off road. That's not to say they aren't going to work with no weight but the ride will be more firm than the standard springs. I tow a 5000+ lb boat and trailer 2 times a month with National standard springs and no issues.

bstoner59----you are right about the thread. I am done--should have just let it go. My bad sometimes I can't resist.

I run standard springs and tow my bronco crawler with trailer approx weight of 7k. Rows great

How much weight are you guys running in the bed of these truck on your Raptor runs? 2-3 tires, fuel can/tanks, straps, and tools? How much does all of that weigh? I'm torn between the two as well.

With tools and spare it handles the weight fine. Squats 2 inches or so. The ride of the standard spring is nice. With 300 lbs + the hd springs will rides close to the same. Jarret from rpg will tell you the hd springs are meant to carry weight all the time so when unloaded the ride will be harder. The standard springs perform well when carring weight when needed. Way better than the stock springs.

I had the same conversation with Jarret and was told the same. HD's are for guys running with weight in the bed at all times.
