Where did I say it handled like crap?

I didnt realize Payload included me

I am 6'5" 250, and a google search showed a half pallet of water weighs ~1,040

so MAYBE 90 lbs over payload. In the ballpark though. We will just ignore the tool box weight lol

And gasoline.

And gasoline.

Call the cops, I dont even give a ****

 

[guernsej]

And gasoline.

Curb weight includes a full tank of gas. Factoring in gas would only add to payload, considering the tank was probably less than full.

SCREW payload is 1,200 lbs, this is about 1,100 lbs (half pallet of water)

Drove about 100 miles like this. Squatted it hard but it handled okay

soft suspension doesn't like load.

Just to give you and idea of the squat with a half ton in the half ton

Mean while...



8200 pound trailer and 2 spares with wheels in the back.

Oh yes, thank you, i should mention I have the RPG 1.5" level

Awesome you just answered a question for me- i will haul 5-600 lbs in the bed few times a month. I can tell this truck simply doesn’t like heavy shit in it I can imagine double the load.

I was contemplating eibach or Geiser springs or RPG collars to raise the front a tad. I’m thinking now maybe the eibachs are best route since they’re progressive rate same as stock but a bit stiffer- I’m guessing when hauling or especially rowing having the full spring compression travel avaialble is a good thing?
