I wanted to know how much more payload I could give my 97 f150 reg cab short bed 4x4 with auto tranny 4.6L. I am a realist, I'm not trying to get up to f250 standards, every pound i can gain helps for work though. I know theres add-a-leafs and helper springs. Or just get a new stacks. Opinons on what I should do?
What state are you in??? In MI you can go as high as 20,000 per axle if you have the right tires & register it with the state.
I don't really think the truck will actually haul that much but the law says you can if you pay enough for it.
Fords GVWR doesn't matter to the state. We have a ledgslature that makes the laws here not the car companies. In fact... some of our laws make the car companies mad & cost then lots of money.
