I'm with Slownsy on this... if there is sagging, it isn't much that I can see. Maybe if I saw an unhitched picture of the truck I could tell.

Anyways...... Back to pictures!

Please torque up those spring bars so you don't lose steering control in the rain. Just recommending. [emoticon]


I already almost lift the rear wheels off the ground to get the torsion bars attached and I have a hard time getting the chains on at that.

Also, keep in mind that 3 people are inside the trailer in that picture, instead of the 5 usually in the truck. It actually handles fine, Titans are just sprung a bit soft. Airbags are in my future however.

I guess as long as it handles ok. We also have had a lot of people in the truck and it never affected the leveling much. We also put stuff in the bed.

I will say I agree on the Titan soft suspension as my previous Titan was actually very soft in the suspension as well, which made the axle ratings hard to swallow.

You may just need heavier rated spring bars if that's the best you can do however.

Good luck and nice looking rig.

I've got 1000lbs bars on a 6500lbs (empty) TT.

The real proof in the pudding is scales, which I need to do. However 3200 miles of towing in rain, and everything else and it stops, turns to avoid truck tires and overall handles quite well. I think the picture makes it look different than it really is, its actually pretty level front to back.

However without the trailer on it the Titan looks like a funny car the rear end is so high.

Nice truck, but come on, using a V6 to tow with. [emoticon] [emoticon]


That V6 has more HP than my 454 dually. Wow that is the first time I ever really thought about that.[emoticon]


And if I remember correctly it has more torque as well.


You could be right. I have a buddy that just bought one. I'll have to ask him what the specs were on it.


365 Hp @ 5000 rpms and 420 lbs of torque @ 2500 rpms (steady state/loaded). Power of a big block V8, fuel economy of small block V8. [emoticon]


Used a straight 6 before that, both work awesome!
