I installed it on my 2010 F 150 Super Crew while waiting for a small fifth wheel trailer. The bottom of the springs are about 1/3 inch above the axle, the truck has no cargo and very little gas. I assume they will rest on the axle after I remount the spare wheel, install the fifth wheel guide kit and more. Gas in the tank Update: 4/10/2018 After 12,000+ miles with a small trailer with GRP fifth wheel (Escape 5.0 TA) SumoSprings work very well, still flat. I like using them very much. My 2010 F150 had already clocked 116,000 miles before I got a trailer to tow.
