How much weight should I be loadin' in?

So it's been like a month since I had the RE 3.5" SF put on and the leafs haven't settled at all. I've had no one in the back seat and no weight back there though so uhh.... go figure. Anyway how much weight in sandbags should I be loading in? Today I threw in two 65lbs and two 50lbs. How long should I run with this weight in there for? Should I take out some?Add some? Any help from those RE specialists would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Collin

Throw a spacer in up front to level it out :laugh3:

SOunds good for weight. Just put it as far back as you can. It won't settle overnight though. Try taking it out wheeling as well with the weight in it. That will also help.

Oh yeah I don't mean it looks stupid I just mean its stiff as all get out ride-wise still.

Alright, I just don't want them to sag prematurely from leaving that much weight in it constantly but you think its about the right amount I'll leave it in for a while. Those RE spring packs are tough as nails, they don't hardly move with being weighed down. Amazing compared to the stock ones.
Thanks for the help,

If you got the RE6030, it will take a couple of months of daily driving to settle it down OR take it out on the trail loaded like that for a full day and it should settle out (mine did).

What shocks are you running? I have OME Nitro Chargers and this is the BEST ride I've ever had.






Be patient - don't be in a hurry for your rig to start sagging.

Yeah the shocks I'm running could be part of my problem too. I've got the Rubicon Twintubes. I've heard they can give kind of a harsher ride but I dunno. How much did you score each of your OME's for?

It was back in March/April. I believe they were $65.00 each.
