What MS do you have that ONLY weighs 16k LOADED?

I towed a 19k MS with a 11 DRW RAM without bags and it was fine. I did add bags and Bilstiens and it rode MUCH better as in smoothed out some of the awful roads.

Keep an eye out for bed deflection caused by the base of the Andersen.

You must not have anything loaded if it actually weighs 16k. My 36 MS weighed 18-19k loaded.

It's common knowledge that the ANDERSEN can cause bed deflection because it simply sets on top of the high portion of the corrugation of the thin bed. You hit the brakes with 16-? K and it transforms the weight to the front of the hitch causing the hitch to depress the bed and cause deflection.
