I have had close to 600 pounds in the bed and hardly no squat, and I mean minimal. The downfall id that it rides like a tank lol.

It seems to me that Firestone air bags in the rear is a good solution. Low air pressure when not carrying a load, higher air pressure when loaded. My genIII sags more than my genII did with a load but I don't want the harsh ride that helper springs gives.
