Not a lot of squat and barley on the overrides. It sure airbags or Sumo Springs would be worth it even in that situation. Was just hopping there was a definitive solution that would be worth the investment.
I installed SuperSprings SSS-3 overload spring bumpers.

Like you said above, the factory overload springs barely engage with a load in the bed. This device cause the factory overload springs to engage much sooner, so they actually work the way the truck manufacturer designed.

My rear truck bed used to drop two and a half inches when the Montana was hitched. Overoad springs barely were engaged. Now it drops about one half inch. Truck rides great! Less money than timberins.
