With stock gears and tranny, say 3.55 and a C6, isn't that 1" UPsize gonna' make it even worse of a dog on acceleration?

I am not much for being fast off the light, but I do haul a lot of weight.
I had no trouble getting going with 9,700 pounds of rock in the bed.
PS. Don't try that with a stock truck, mine is a bit modified.
Pulled off the scales at 17,375 pounds this morning.

Yes it is snow, that was taken winter before last.
I have the truck licensed and insured for 20,000 pounds.
The only time I am over that is when I tow our mini excavator and I have both fuel tanks on my truck full.
All WV cares about is you pay for the increased gross weight. My commercial plates cost about 5 times what regular plates do each year.

since we're talking about snow now and i love snow... here's where i lived last year-
on new years we had 9 feet of snow fall in 48 hours. 637" for the season.
the old IDI pulled many a tourist out of the snow.
