Is there any info on bed weight to rear suspension sag?

i wanna level the truck with 2" front but with a bed spray, a tonneau, eventually bed racks there's gonna be some weight on the back. Add in a bunch of gear and I could end up with a Carolina squat.

Is there any chart of how much the bed will drop by weight? I got 230lbs of person in the Overland and it went down like 1/2" I think.

So I want to add up the static weight and estimated gear weight to achieve a small rake when empty and level when full.

I say wait to level until you get everything in place. I know there were some tests ran towing wise and the overlands tend to have softer rear springs.

Personally living in carolina I love the rake just because I never want to be associated with the squaters, and the squats they have here are really bad.

Issue is I want to go to 35s and the 2" front spacers aren't big money and help a ton. I guess I could always just space the front and keep checking how much the rear actually drops with my usage. Deal with a little squat if it happens and then add the correct spacers to back.
