Just wanted to let other members know how my drive to Florida from NY was. 2 weeks ago my wife and I took our 3 kids on a surprise vacation to Florida(Seaworld, Legoland and 2 days at Magic Kingdom), they were told we were going skiing and snowboarding for the weekend. Well we overpacked and had 3 very heavy suitcases with change of clothes for about 2-3 weeks, 4 cases of water, my tool bag and a small 2 1/2 ton jack. I had swapped my 22" eskys for 22" ck375 that had brand new nitto 420s mounted and nitrogen filled. After making sure my 20" NNBS denali spare was good found out it had a leak somewhere so out it went and swapped in a 22" esky as a spare. Filled up the helper bags to 32-33 and we were on our way. Driving I did between 80-90 and averaged 16.2mpgs not bad I think with all the extra weight.
So the reason I'm putting this in the suspension section is because the ride was amazing, smooth, comfortable and best of all the wife was HAPPY with how it handled. I have Tony's 3/6 kit with no spacer in, spohn panhard bar, rear helper bags and free travel mod. The ride was great I have no complaints.
I took a couple of pics to show how I came back to NY

I came back loaded with lots of christmas stuff that my wifes grandfather gave her that belonged to her grandmother who passed away last year. Plus all the extra things that were bought at the parks.
Just to let everyone know Tony's kit is legit, and I personally feel driving loaded it was great, just itching to go lower.

That's great to hear! What are you normally putting in the bags for day to day driving?

Thank you, day to day it's at 15psi.
Serge, that's years of collecting Christmas things. Luckily we got home and some things her mom took and some went to her aunt. It's hard to say no to things that mean a lot to my wife, she was very close to her grandmother.

Thanks Buttons, I try.
Serge I understand, it does look like that.
Joe, the shop that did my suspension/free travel was my dads driveway. At the time I had bought my suspension I did not have my house yet and at the house I was renting I didn't have enough room in the driveway to be comfortable doing all the cutting, so it was all done outside in my parents driveway.
Jason, helper bags were great no sag at all and made for a great ride.
