- '00 XLT V8 AWD
I've got a 2k AWD V8 which I tow a car with. I have an open car hauler which weighs roughly 1800 so with the car and gear I'm towing ~5k. This thing sags in the rear somethin' fierce! I've done as much as I can with the load leveling hitch and adjusting the position of the car on the trailer. I'm gonna guess I've got a tongue weight of ~500. I do haul gear in the back as well but I try to position it as far forward as possible. I have the towing package...course that means $300 for wiring but I did get the 3.73 LSD. Anyone else tow much?
I'm gonna put a set of Bilstein HD shocks all the way around but I don't think that's gonna do it. I considered doing the Add-A-Leaf kit but this is my wife's vehicle and she probably won't appreciate the ride change....I assume it would be quite a bit rougher. The other option is the air bladder. Does anyone have any other suggestions or experiences with this? Anyone run the Bilsteins?
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
