My dad has a 2012 F-250 King Ranch Fx4.

We are on our way hunting towing a 15K gooseneck horse trailer.

The truck is sagging so much its sitting on the frame bumpers. Any one else have this issue?

Should he get air bags or add a leaf?
He has no interest in lifting the truck.

Thanks for the help guys.

yep the ride sucks right now. we tow it with my truck and its fine so im not sure whats up. my dad isnt happy about it.
the dealership said he could put taller bump stops on it so the ride would look more even.
Like that solves the issue.

Take pics and post them. My truck with my Camper doesn't even touch the overloads.

Damn. I get that mileage at 80 loaded. Need pics for sure. I don't think I've ever seen a truck ride on the bump stops. How much tongue weight?

:stupid: if it is on the bump stops you have some serious tongue weight. Mine will touch the over loads pretty easy but after that It takes quite a bit.
Firestone air bags and an Airlift wirelessOne controller is what I have.

Here is 19,000lbs of wheat on the back of the trailer and 80 PSI in my air bags

Something can't be right. I've never heard or seen a truck flatten overloads and sit on stops. Did you put most of your weight over the trailer axles or on the neck?
