I put Bilstein 4600ās on the rear because I didnāt like the way the truck rode. I spend moths towing. I do not tow 6000lbs, but do tow at near max payload. Typically I tow 5000lbs or less with 1500-1600lbs in the truck including tongue weight. If I wanted to tow 6000lbs all the time, I...
I have a Proven Industries since they make my hitch lock. I also have some padlocks that are nice for other applications. My Proven Industries seems solid.
I donāt know since I have not set water temp on the gauge. I watch the factory gauge. I can set it, and watch it, but wonāt drive the truck much until mid March. I can report average differences then.

Personally, I donāt have an E2, but do have a WDH. Iād pull out your E2 manual and set the hitch up carefully yourself. Iām not overweight or size based on Fordās specs, but I use up most of it and tow just fine. I bought this truck specifically for towing my travel trailer. After your WDH is...
Tried for many months to get the Bestop. Finally gave up and cancelled. Got the DeeZee. Iāve never bumped it. I thought I might, which is why I tried so hard to bet the Bestop. Glad now I got the DeeZee and pocketed the difference.
