I bought this a few months back in April. It works really well for what it is but for myself and the amount of weight we haul I changed over to Air Bags.

The one I have is the 1200lb version and installs in about 30 minutes. Really simply to install.
I personally really love how its a set it and forget it towing system. Also it doesn't effect your trucks ride when unloaded like Air Bags.

When unloaded the rear of the truck rides normal and feels very secure.

I switched to Air Bags due to hauling the Mojo <very nose heavy>. Once I load up our 250lb cooler of ice, all the gear and 5 adults my truck is squatting. I personally hate squatting.

With I found is even with Air Bags my truck is squatting, so I equate this to 1/2 ton suspensions.

Since I have both the RAS and Air Bags I would like to sell 1 and the Air Bags are a custom install so RAS needs to go.

I will part with it for 250, that's more then 100 off the retail and its only a few months old.

I seriously would not sell this if I hadn't bought and installed my Air Bags, I really do like the kit and stand behind its performance and function. If I could double it with my Air Bags I would.

Here is some links and info. Mine is the all Black version.

If the mojo is nose heavy it sounds like the axles are not being placed in the right location on the trailer...

IDK but it being a Wide nose and not a V nose there is a lot more weight in the front end. I like my boat to set almost level <slight tilt forward> when I tow. Even on the F350 it would drop a couple inches with the Mojo vs the LSV

Make me a reasonable offer, would like to get it out of my garage and on to someone who can make use of it.

Thanks

Saving this thread for a couple weeks from now if it hasn't sold. I pickup the new boat on 5/9 and will have to see how my f-150 handles it. On my 96 Malibu it didn't sag at all but these new boats are a lot heavier so I'm concerned I'll need something to combat it and this looks nice.

Yea they would need slightly longer and much stronger springs.
