Weight issue
I am using my truck to haul water, it is a 22r engine, with a lift and possibly a beefed up rear suspension, is 2000 lbs to much for a truck this size?
I will try posting pics with another device

Yes, that is a concern, they lag a lot.
Thanks for that
I will try using a trailer

How far do you need to go?

Sometimes we need to do things just to get things done

You're going to kill the arch in those springs going negative like that.

Yup^^^
And see how close the bump-stops are to each other? A lowered ricer-Civic can go over a speed bump better than your truck

yeah, the delayed braking is a big concern as well, I will go back to one tank at a time(120 gallons). When I get my trailer going again I may try two tanks in that.
