Hi everyone I have been reading posts about our new 2019 1500. I just bought the Laramie 4wd with the sport package. Bummed bc it has the running boards, but I guess il just sell them.
I have horses and tow a bumper pull. Want to do the level kit bc I like the stance it gives. My Truck stock has these tires on it. Wondering what level kit I should do, if so will it make rear sag while towing? Thanks!

The factory stance is designed so the truck levels out when the rear is loaded. Adding a level will make it run nose high when loaded. If leveling you will also need airbags for the rear to load assist. This will keep the truck level when towing.

Timber grove has a nice setup with the least modification. They are working on a remote air setup now for the 19s. I have not used these yet but well reviewed. This is the route I will go.

I have had good use with Firestone’s on a previous truck.
