I carry that pin on the stock suspension, no bags or Timbers, and I still have NOT engaged the stock overloads.

The question to ask your self, would you feel safe driving down this road at the 55 mph limit, or maybe even 5 over so traffic doesn't backup behind you? I will tell you I do, it is all about good maintenance and keeping the front end tight!
