Did you run the blue yellow or black shocks?
Those are the Oe spectrum I believe I'm really keeping an eye on the gas a just from kyb right now but I'm on a super tight budget
if ya dont mind me asking, what trailer
detailing trailer? if you plan to tow, then i like the kyb monomax. the gas ajusts are also good for towing, how often you plan to? if you tow once in a while then the gas just, but if its more frequent then the monomax. the monos are a bit stiffer than the gas, so thats somethin to factor in. all depends on prefrence, most of this is all subjective to opinion when the X was a tow rig/DD it had monomax front air shock rear. thenwhen towing was less frequent, it had the gas ajusts out front. bilstiens are also a good option but $$$. another option is air shocks in the fornt like blown used, but thats only if you want height ajustent up front, but for your application it probbaly would be more effort etc, and anyways conventional shocks ride a tad better imo. sorry this got all wordy.!
Yes, a detailing trailer with a generator inverter setup and 2 pressure washers I'm guessing right around 1500lbs fully loaded mainly I'm looking at load adjust because with a full tank I got the Carolina squat on one side and gangster lean on the other also I tend to carry stuff in the rear sometimes and want a decent shock that will hold up I'm used to driving a 2000 Silverado so I know exactly what you mean about the truck feeling anyway what would you run up front with the load adjust?if ya dont mind me asking, what trailer
have you looked into air shocks also for your rear? i had those and would pump it up and down as needed, pump up alot for hauling/towing, let it down for DD to retain ride height. imo (and this is all subjective) the load adjusts can be a little harsh unloaded, but then again when i test drove one it had <1/4 tank too so it weighed little in the rear, kind of felt like driving light rwd pickup
Why not? is it because of the chains?
probably the trans. i notice X's on CL that have had tow duty suffer trans issues earlier on. that bein said, sorry donalds but i disagree. i tow a 3.5k boat with the X, and at 350k im still on the original trans no VB work, just fluid+filter. i know mine aitn average and for some reason i lucked out on this one, but i think with afew upgrades the 5r can easily drag a 1500 trailer around. for me my X sees heavy cargo weights and the boat, and i havent noticed any ill effects. that being said, compared to stuff like the 4r70w the 5r is fragile

oh yeah, thats cool
cant wait to see pics of it. for the carolina squat imo do the load ajusts, and if you need more then some shackles. for the explorer lean, then try a reverse torsion lift to even the two sides out. see gjarretts thread answering questions about herc.
yeah i know mine aint usual, wasnt built on a monday or friday. i agree that the v8 is a much better starting playform for a tow rig. agree also on updated leaves. im pretty sure mine is close to 350 now. the real odo reading is 121 and some, but half the time in more recent times the odo stops working when its hot (lots here in LA)
You are lucky
