thats where i got the idea to level it! i had my 2009 honda rincon 700lb. fourwheeler in the bed, and it squatted it pretty good, so i figured it would look better like that all the time

Makes sense!

i think im gonna try a 1" block in the back, anyone know where i can acquire some of them?

are they difficult to install? and will if affect my ride, handling, towing, etc...?

Just keep in mind that once leveled, when you put your 2009 honda rincon 700lb fourwheeler in the bed, its going to still squat it, and then the back end is going to sit low. The back of a truck sitting low not only looks stupid, its dangerous on the highway.

Google is your friend on that one. Or ebay. There are plenty out there, just find the size you want and do some price comparison.

They are not hard to install, but you'll probably need new u-bolts.

Blocks won't affect any of that as they don't mess with the suspension, they just shove the axle down.

You could get air shocks, air bags or coil-over towing shocks for the back to help with the few times you have the weight in there!

Do you guys really not use your truck that often? I couldn't imagine driving my truck daily without a load.

maybe someday, we'll see


I do put loads in my truck! they're just not heavy/big (i.e. motocross bike, mtn/road bike... fun stuff)
Truth is, tons of people buy trucks with absolutely no desire of using it like a truck, but im not here to judge
