I may have overloaded the bed

[tmp123]

So like a moron I loaded a palate of biobricks(wood) onto my raptor bed..
It sagged but drove it for 2 miles ...

Did I damage anything...total weight was about 1900lbs.

What might have been damaged?

Thanks

I would just make sure the leaf spring oil reservoir isn't leaking. If no leaks, change the air filter in the shock mounts and you're good to go.

Not an expert by any means, but that is double the payload rating (you in truck as well). Would guess the rear shocks are the weak link....

If you didn't bottom out, no problem.
As for your ride height you might have taking some life out of the springs.

WTF?

so, your sense of humor and my sense of humor are different, apparently.

I was already ordering parts...



OP, if your shocks don't show obvious damage or leaks, you should be ok. My guess it is sat right down on the bump as soon as it was loaded. I picked up a load of bricks in a trailer i borrowed from my dad once. Note to self. Check the tire pressure before you put the bricks in the trailer.

I have to admit this post reminded me of this old pic though...

Thanks Guys...It appears the ride is normal...no noticeable issues..i may have weakened the fox shock absorbers?
Lesson learned
