Hey yall, been contemplating instead of going up to go low. However, never really done the lowered in a truck so not sure how it will be when hauling my boat and when I go to load it on the trailer at the boat ramp. So any advice of yes or no that won't work with a lowered truck. Also what about hauling, do yall just add helper bags to compensate?

Thanks in advance

My rear is lowered 2" and has Airlift 1000 bags, and it tows great with our trailer. That adds 700lbs tongue weight, plus whatever we throw in the bed, and we still have enough suspension travel to keep the wife happy (and she's, uh, finicky)
I had it lowered 3", but we ended up riding on the bumpstops; that was NOT a popular trip.

I can't imagine putting a mild drop in the rear changing how much grip the rear would have? How would that change?
