As for carrying the weight.. my rear frame height dropped 3 inches with a 35" spare, tin foil rollbar, rear bumper and a few tools (comealong, chain, small jack). Maybe thats normal, idk? Its a good thing as it keeps my frame height down but I never really noticed THREE inches of sag with my yota springs. Maybe my chevies are a little worn? I have the 3leafs w/overload.
