why do you say that? I pull a boat with mine...

Do you have helper bags?

Because being springs that drop you down 4", you don't have much travel before you bottom out. You'll definitely need different shocks to begin with, and those relocators that I have seen don't look like they drop the mount point 4" to fully compensate. Ideally a spring will be pretty darn stiff by the time it's about to bottom out, so adding a load to them is just going to make your ride pretty abysmal since the springs won't be in their "sweet spot".

Air bags on the other hand....

edit ^^ helper bags + springs are a good idea!

with the djm hardware kit

dont need relocators
you need a 20 inch long extended shock at most

if you do helper bags you can load up 600 pounds of people and its fine in rear.

That's only about 300lbs at the rear axle though (thinking suburban, not tahoe). Towing is a much different beast than hauling people! You could have an 800lb tongue weight, which is almost all held up by the rear suspension.

Would the same setup work as well on an XL?

Bags + Boat no problem. Here is a picture with the TB coils and no helper bags. I do have helper bags just have not had a chance to put them in this one yet.
