Looking at the Hotchkis 2/4 and swaybar kit for a ECSB 03 GMC I will soon be buying (hopefully next week :D ), and had a question about it.
I understand that with the lowering springs, you loose some weight capability. I looked on the Hotchkis site, and searched here, but couldnt find the answer.
Approximately how much is lost? I will be road tripping across the country this summer, and carrying my motorcycle in the bed as well as assorted camping gear. Bike weighs 500# plus all the gear, so I may have 750 pounds or so in the bed. There may also be other times when I will have two street bikes on board, and that can hit 800-1000 pounds before gear and passengers. With this in mind, should I plan on air bag helper springs as well?
I assume that wont be a problem, but would like input from others that have this kit.
I emailed Hotchkis, but am still waiting to hear from them.
Thanks
