will installing the 2" leveling kit change the payload on 4x4. If so how much

 

You lose 3/8ths of a metric ton, but gain 2.5" of travel height in the front suspension. Calculating that for the torsion vector radiating from the rear leaf springs, i'd estimate maybe 3/8ths +/- 1/16 of a ton would probably be even closer to the right answer. Hope that helps.

 

That cleared it up

 

So am i to understand that i will be loosing around 700 + pounds of payload when i install the kit? I'm definantly not arguing but i am surprised how much it will hurt

 

So am i understanding this right, ill be loosing 700+ pounds of payload. Im not arguing but that sure seems high. Maybee not worth it?

 

No, i was joking. I have not seen a single number printed about loss of payload. If you think about it, nothing will change except for the angle of the truck - the payload rating will remain the same, but you'll be blinding people more with your lights. It'd be a different story if you were messing with rear shocks/leaf springs.

But seriously, i wouldn't expect any payload change - enjoy

 

Thanks Kelmvor,

sorry i didnt get it. i was just really impressed w/your math skills. YOu could have ridden that one for a while. seriously though that was a good one and thanks for the reply

 

your payload capacity will indeed change, but it will only be the <10 lbs. that the kit itself weighs.

 

Equally as important is the palcement of your load.
The CG (center of gravity) will change.
If the attitude of the vehicle changes, the CG will change.
You should have gotten documentation with your truck to explain this.
The document refers to this information with regards to cap placement on the box, but the CG information is still relevant.
