Yeah - good question.
I had a full load of firewood - probably over the 1ooo limit in total payload and the wheels were rubbing. So I had to dump some of the wood. I could have made the trip with the auto-levellers. I still had close to 1000 lbs and the ride was waaaaayyyy better than the stock shocks.
Since then I added the High Lifter so I expect the rubbing will not be an issue but have not a full load test yet.
I need to (like to) carry heavy loads at times but I'm not putting those stock shocks back on. I'm not too concerned.
Oh - also - i didnt adjust the pre-load with that heavy load - that might have fixed me up too.
Wow!
I would like to retract any reservations I had about these Elka shocks. Got them tuned in and they feel great. Picked up a FULL load of firewood today and definitely performed better than stock self levellers.

When I made the comments above I had not done any tuning. I still have tuning and testing to do - I have hardly done any due to the crazy weather we've had. I just could leave that out there what I said before.
I'm not sure about the lift helping on a heavy load either. Lift was going on anyway and I'll probably keep it. I just did not have the preload correct before - that was the main problem with the rubbing.
