LOL. Wait till you get a good load of scrap in and hit the scale with 3 ton in the bed and the truck still looks like its riding level. They argued with me for ten minutes that I couldn't have had that much weight in the bed.

I have noticed mine drops about 1" per ton till it hits the overloads at 2 tons.
Then about .6" per ton.

4 tons puts it just about level, but my 9 foot bed has a lot of length/weight behind the rear axle.

Of course we also need to remember the springs in your truck If I remember right Dave had had a few tweaks to them over the years

yah, and mine squats with my big *** in the back, although i do have a shackle reversal lift.


you aught to try it on a trailer, 5 or 6 times that and it doesn't care just be sure to hook up the brakes
