BIGHAHN can you not see that the original poster 18wheelin has said that there are 100 not 375? Its not simple calc when he's tellin you how many there are.

That picture would be priceless.

Alright I see it now, thought that you guys were saying that its a four SQUARE patio block, I now see that its looks like four bricks in a row. It confused me when I saw theres 5 bricks accross because that wouldnt add up if they were four square patio blocks! anyways I give up, im tired of looking like a jackass!

Ive never had that much weight in the back of my truck so i dont know how much it squats with the blocks and lift.

First off, you would be hard-pressed to get 62 cubic feet (2.3 cu yds) in the bed--you'd need a pile that was one foot higher than the bed all around. Second, tough as it may be, there's no way 6,000 lbs wouldn't totally compress the suspension. I've seen what less than half that weight would do.

The flareside bed is 59.1 cuft with the tailgate closed and level with the bed rails. As you can see in the first picture that I posted the sand is mounded up in the bed and was about 2" down from the top of the bed rails, so I don't think that my estimate is too far off. As for the suspension it was almost completely compressed even with 40 psi in the air bags.
