    The ground is a constant. Measuring at the "center" of hub can be out a half a inch. Also people with spacers or wide tires can't get to the hub which again alters the measurements. Way to many variables. Again flat ground is constant Ground does not move.

    CargoMaxx Rear Coil Spring Upgrade for Towing

    I used the tufftruck version on my old 12 longhorn. It did change the ride quality a bit but it helped with the sqaut when loaded. It also seemed to have raised the truck, but I don't remember what version I got. My theory was "it is a truck and it rides like a truck" if I wanted a smooth...
