Steve....that old thread has many aspects based on new info and info not known back then
One poster used to boohoo 3/4 ton Subs as there is little difference with a half
ton Sub, but notice he now has a 3/4 ton...
Or that it was unknown to many that the GMT800 4x4's had the front axle bump stop
touch the lower A-Arm in all conditions, therefore a secondary front axle spring
Also, back then, even drop was still the rule of thumb, albeit in the process of
changing and my guess because of the new front suspensions already out there
Finally, it was still contentious, as it is a bit so now, that the GMT800 receiver
was a pick of junk...or more PC...not a good design
So many who have gone and spent the approx $200 bucks on a traditional receiver
design replacement *ONLY* have reported that they now can transfer enough weight
No other changes than that new receiver
Not worth the time to go further than 3 pages, as it is a repeat of contentious
comments without knowing what we know today (or at least what I now know)
