i am guess, that the best idea would be to level the rear with a 2 inch drop....
i dont really a lot of heavy stuff, so with that drop, would it affect anything if i were to haul around a heavy load?

The tires will play a bigger role in that since bumps are more likely to bend a rim or blister a tire. I haul with mine, Ill have to carry a ton in it soon for my moms pellet stove. Im not the least bit worried.


This is a heavy crawler and trailer, winch, bumpers, skids, oba and lots making it heavy. Just air the tires more to help with potholes.
