Hope Superlift have redesigned their springs. Check the blogs in my built thread regarding those coils.I've been busy working on the truck and using it the last month.
Took a wheeling trip to the Idaho Springs area in Colorado.

Truck did absolutely great on that trip. However Glamping tends to add a lot of weight. So the rear suspension is getting an upgrade. I have Superlift Sl-140 springs that will be paired with some Icon shocks. We'll try that in the rear for our upcoming trip next week.
Also have been working hard in the shop making products.
Bed Racks are done, Was going to go bronze to match the wheels....but it looked really bad on the truck so going back to black.

Installed a hooke road roof rack. I searched and it seemed this was one of the only roof racks available for the quad cab. The install rough. The quality of the fitment was not great. Also drilling out the holes on the rood was not fun. Oh well its done and it does look good.

I think i read you got them dirt cheap ? so give them a try and see if the do the trick for you. When i did them they were not able to hold much more weight compared to the stockers. If you read on my build thread i had a lot of expectations on those coils cause i wanted to run longer rear shocks and their length came very handy. I only had 300lbs of weight back then and i swear of god i lost all 2" in literally 2 weeks after install. They're super long but they will sag just under your RTT rack below to what you have in no time after the install. And they're so long it would be a bad idea to add 1" spacers to gain 1" back.
@hodge-xj had the same results , i returned my set within a month. This was back in 2019 so who knows if they have had a chance to revise springs rates.
Good luck, Truck is looking pretty good and i bet those outdoor activities are even better.
Enjoy.
