I agree the sag it too much.

The back of this 2012 is crazy high in the air. I think it is a softer spring rate compared to the older trucks. With no load my 2012 measure 24.5" to the bottom of the receiver tube and the 96 measures 17.5". both are 8600 GVW 2500 4wd.

& inches higher in the rear and both are bone stock.

Here is a look at it with my new 9" drop shank.
still insanely high to crank up the trailer to hitch up.

same trailer, no changes but my 96.
