here is a question. I believe people have found the ride on the heavies to be stiffer and harsher with insufficient weight. christo leans against the heavies unless you have a winch. this doesn't make sense if the load rating is the same. have people found the same thing using spacers with no winch/or arb?

"I believe people have found the ride on the heavies to be stiffer and harsher with insufficient weight. christo leans against the heavies unless you have a winch."
I have the OME heavies and run without any seats (other than DS and PS) and other than a ARB front bumper; I'm stock or pretty much running as lite as possible.
Everyone of passengers have complemented my 80's handling and ride, thus far.
Maybe, but hopefully not; the "insufficient weight" doesn't apply to me?

With the heavies, my 80 is NOT the bug moble (yes, level ride), but I'd say that they are about 1" taller than stock.
