I’m planning a suspension upgrade for my SR5. Seriously considering MT64, but my camping load adds about 600# in the back, including a vertical bike rack. Anyone carrying similar loads off-road? Are you experiencing sag and or bottom-outs?

Thanks in Advance!

I have ADGU drawers in the back which are over 100 pounds, and with all my camping equipment (which includes a battery, a loaded fridge, and 5+ gallons of water) there's at least a couple hundred more pounds. No visibly obvious sag, but I can definitely tell it's soft in the rear. If I measured it before loading it there might actually be some sag but it's not egregious. But I definitely hit my rear bumpstops more than I used to.

Thanks. I figure either stiffer could or air bags. Not a huge airbag fan

I put on Dobinsons C59-821V (50mm - 2") 500-700lb Load, I am heavy with RTT, 180 awning, 35's, rear swing out and all the gear, so when fully loaded just over stock height for the Trailhunter. before did bottom out no so much now.
