    thanks pwood999 this info is good to but it seems to contradict my weight plate. it saying 2050 on the MAM your data saying 2080. unless I'm mistaken. I have no trailer. just tools and on board compressor. I was planning to have more but i will have to keep my weight down now

    i know what you mean about the power. and i have been looking in to getting some power gains. but now im thinking about it with the MAM it probably best i keep the power standard or though more efficient. im just thinking that the extra power will cause more stress between the engine and the road.

    L-series payload

    sorry I'm new i should of been more clear in my wording. its not for towing purposes. i genuinely want to be able to hold more weight in side the vehicle. not to dangerous limits but any increase in my ability to hold more would help me. I'm thinking uprated shocks, springs, Polly bushes, I want...
