I don’t like the squat. Raptors have their strengths, but towing isn’t one of them. Not to say I don’t love my Raptor, because I do.

Axles are too far back on that trailer.

My enclosed rig. WDH. Recently added Hellwig leaf helpers to improve the towing stance.

How do you find the Hellwigs overall? Been looking to reduce squat while towing without negatively impacting offroad/onroad performance when not. Seems many people are going with Deavers, just a bit more than I would like to spend at the moment so these are interesting.

Here's my 19 with +2HD Deavers towing about 6000lbs(?). Was on the highway for about 50 miles and had cruise control set at 71. Really impressed. View attachment 353340

the HDs make it much better towing, but ride like a brick otherwise. its a pain in the ass to switch out springs for a towing weekend, expensive also if youre having a shop do it. too bad car haulers dont come with a WD hitch

The only real issue is that I wish I bought a Blue Raptor and don't let her get away from you on a slippery ramp!

Never had any issues. I would like to get an enclosed setup but the numbers don’t add up for me.

I see the squat in these pics and people towing like that. Mine looked just like these pics with a 18f trailer and two atvs and I was like not today. Aint blowing out the shocks but seeing how many of you tow like that make me glad I bought my truck new and not used. I rather spend $90 bucks and beat on a uhaul.
