My truck on a daily basis probably has about 500lb in the bed (winch, toolbox, tools, bedmat, and bed cover). My truck was sitting perfectly level with just the bed loaded, which is probably 1.5" of squat without a trailer. I added the 2" block to get me somewhere close to factory specs, and I also tow a 5,000lb travel trailer (with a weight distribution hitch) around during the summer. My axle isn't overloaded, it's just that these factory springs seem a lot softer than previous gen trucks. No one makes a Add-a-leaf for our model trucks yet, I looked into it. Which led me to my current adventure, trying to find NHT rear leaf packs. I'm okay with some squat while towing, but I wasn't okay sitting level unloaded.

I already have Bilstein 5100s in the rear and I added a 2" Trail Boss lift block to compensate for the sag. No my truck doesn't have the composite spring, I believe that was only on LT trucks. I'm not a fan of airbags honestly, I found part number 847540250 on a Max Trailering truck, and they're only $145 per side.

Look into Sumosprings they offer the best of both worlds. Or you can always add a block to the rear suspension to make it higher, that’s what I did

Yup its a LTZ that comes ready to go, just need the sensors.

These would be handy for my travel trailer, if anyone isn't going to use their sensors, I will gladly buy them off of you.

The rear sag on my truck is pretty drastic compared to my 2017, so I would like to get a beefier spring pack for the rear. Can someone help locate part numbers for the leaf springs and front coil springs from the Max Trailering Package? Thanks! EDIT: My truck sags 1.5" with just my daily bed load of toolbox/tools and bed cover. Total is ~500lbs

I just pulled my 26' Travel Trailer for the first time with my 3.0 Dmax this past weekend, combined with that new 10 speed, it pulls like a dream! The trailer is 4400 dry, but it's probably sitting at about 5,000 in its current config. I do have factory trailer brakes and a Weight Distribution hitch setup, man I was impressed with the off the line torque. I came from a 17' 6.2 Sierra with the 8L90 trans, and it didn't pull this nice. I did add Bilstein 5100 shocks and 2" rear blocks to my truck, this was because with my tool box and tools in the bed, my truck was actually sitting completely level without a trailer. I knew that once I hooked my trailer up, it would be nose high and dangerous to drive.

I had my front and rear LTZ bumpers wrapped in a white that was close to the factory Summit white. The shop was not able to wrap the sensors though, he mentioned that it would not hold up over time, so I'm sending the sensors and door handles out to be painted summit white soon. I may send the lower chrome skid plate too.

Forged carbon looks awesome, if I had the black interior I’d do it

What was the part number for the 2020? Any idea why they are doing away with the upgrade?

Thanks man!

Can anyone help with part numbers for body color door handles. I have a 2020 LTZ Crew Cab that has smart key only on the front doors, the truck came with chrome, and I want to get a set painted Summit White body color. Thanks.

Dam that's a great looking truck man..

Where did you buy the 2" lift blocks from?

It would be pointless, go aftermarket and put a good set of speakers in the doors. You could do all the doors for under $300, and get way better sound. That's what I will be doing to my truck, I'll have JL audios put in the doors next month, and install my Amplifier/10" sub too. I actually purposely shopped for a LTZ truck that didn't have the Convience 2 package, because once you add Bose it becomes a lot more expensive to add a amp/subwoofer, plus I didn't care about the wireless charger or Nav since I use apple carplay daily.

This is so similar to the 6112 thread on the K2 forum, Bilstein just kept pushing the date further and further back. I would love a set of 5100s for my truck, but I may get impatient and just get the Eibachs. This truck is so dam bouncy on any bump I come in contact with, it's annoying.

Truck looks good man, I have those same running boards

I often wish I got the standard bed, but it wouldn't fit in the garage. I also hate the overly chrome Denali look, it'll look good subdued

Which link did you use? Do you mind sharing? I have a 2020, so I have smart key up front, but none on the rear handles. So I need to buy both

It's a must have, I couldn't find a dam thing in my center console before I added it. Mine was kind of a loose fit (maybe 1/4"), so I added little pieces of rubber to edges, and now it doesn't rock back and fourth when I'm driving.

Center console light was useless with the tray on top, so I added a led book light and velcro’d it inside. Plenty of light now

Can you post a picture of the different angles, your shock may just need to be turned. I've done this on the truck, with the upper bolted in just grab some channel locks and spin the shock 180*

Nothing special, just go onto Amazon and look up trim removal kit, they're under $10

Do you have the "diesel off road package"? I wonder why your payload is 200lbs lower than mine.

I think you'll only have the other 2 if you have reverse sensors.
