What did you do to your Toy Hauler today???
This is always a fun thread to watch so I thought I would start one here.

The Visteon Sterling 10.5" rear axle has a 9750 lb rating. If you can build up the suspension and upgrade wheels to handle additional weight, the frame is the same as the DRW.
I have mixed feeling about the air bags used on pickups. If they become the primary lift support, they are not firm enough to keep the vehicle from swaying. When heavier style models are used in an air ride system, they are stiffer and don't exhibit this behavior. The lighter bags are good for leveling but the metal springs should be well engaged to keep stability.
My F250 was upgraded to comfortably carry 8000 lbs on the rear axle. If someone wants to start a new thread about this we can continue the discussion.
Not to many drivers substitute bags for their stock springs. I know a lot of airbag applications are add-ons. Unlike a wheel, you are changing out completely. If you try and stay stock tire height you loose sidewall height and most tires with a lower profile sidewall loose capacity. Just my .02
Like I said Im not trying to argue anything. Just pointing out.
