Matt, I have a customer that comes and gets 1 1/2 ton feed in his S-10. You do the math.

Keep it forward as much as you can to put some weight on the front. I used to haul 2+ ton of feed in a 3/4 ton Ford with overload springs on the rear. Worked fine.

No Nic, thats not why, I dont haul that much all the time, I believe this is just another one of those things "that just aint right"

I blew mine loading a jeep onto a car hauler. I should be able to do that every day of the week.

I added to each side, and then to the front. So, the rear were not stock, there were what the guy had in the shop to bend up for me, the front were stock, but additional added to it as well.
