Anyone have any advice for towing with a drop? Going camping and need to pull the boat. I'm running the Belltech SP drop shocks and the Blue 5" DJM Springs. Should I just put my stock back on or will Helper bags work?

I don't know how big and heavy your boat is, but I used to trailor two motorcycles (gsxr 1000 and 600) with 24s and a 5" drop and I had no issues at all. I didn't have helper bags either. Hope this helps.

I pulled a 5000+ pound 27' RV trailer from Oregon to Washington with 5'' drop on 24's, no helper bags. You'll be good lol

Dial up helper bags for sure with those springs, pm tony but I think the 60748 bags would work quite best. I love my helper bags.

Max: One of my buddys here in Denver told me you had a set of bags in stock at your store here in town.

I had the blue djm 5" drop spring with 24's.... Pulled my 4400lbs ski boat plus junk in the trunk... From tampa fl to seattle wa... No issues.... If anything add the helper bag... Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.
