I'm curious how the 1500 sits when loaded with a 700# 4 wheeler will I need some suspension upgrades just to level out

I had the same issue with a Sportsman 500. Install some Icon springs and it will sit +1/2" above level when loaded. Ride is verygood when loadedand unloaded. Sorry, I dont have a pic handy.

I have airbags in mine no issues

With those springs then is it higher than stock unloaded? And those airbags do those work like the old air shocks? I've seen some that go inside the rear spring. And without any aids the 1500 squats too much? Sorry for all the questions but I don't want to be the one shining my headlights in everyone's mirror at night.

Here's a pair of 58" tractor tires. I'm guessing they're about 300#s each and there was a smaller tire tucked inside these two.

a stock 1500 wont look to bad. it will sit about level. if you have a leveling kit, its going to squat. youll want air bags.

Yes, the springs are a bit taller installed. With 5100s set at 2.8" and Icons, the truck has a rake of 1.75". Stock springs and with the quad loaded, the bump stops were about 3/4" from bottom. That is quad only, no additional (beer) gear.

I tested it out today since it was sooo nice out and I measured a 3" drop after I loaded it up. It fits the rambox snug, and drives quite well.
