Not given much thought, fiqure if there's space between the road and bottom of the rim, it's good to go. Certainly have loaded a heck of alot more than halaf ton, been occasion thought the tire was going to blow, or get stopped by CHP. Usually swear will not do it again until the next load.
Since on subject, just replaced the fronts shocks with Gabriel Loadlevelers, anything would have been an improvement, and not sure what to go with on the rears. Been looking at the Monroe loadlevelers, any suggestions appreciated!

Have you considered looking into air shocks?
They can be aired up to help your springs with heavy loads, then aired down during normal use duties. That way you don't have to deal with a stiff ride 24/7.
Just don't blow an shock air line (i.e., rubbing against the exhaust) when you're heavily loaded!
It could get UUUGGGLLY!

Tnks John, it's for the flareside, if decide on air shocks (?), imagine somewhere in the wheel well area.
