well i hauled 1.5 cu yards of top soil today




my phone didn't save the side shot, but the rear was almost on the bump stops. but the truck still drove great like normal

 

It looks like it's time for some helper springs...

 

That's disappointing to see that load sat the truck down THAT low! Do you have the 3 or 4 leaf springs?

 

Not all that disappointing, really. Depends on moisture content of the soil, sand content etc etc.. but he's probably hauling around, what 2 1/2 tons or 3,000lbs. According to my 06 FX4 with a payload of 1,475 he only doubled it. Curious to know what his payload is.

Not something I would want to do on a daily basis. And I'm assuming the OP doesn't either.

 

I think it's 3 leafs, gotta be.

 

Looks like he doesnt have the max tow or the 20's so he probably doesnt have the 4th spring.

 

yeah payload is 1268 and 3 leaf and weight is un know but well over a ton

this is a one time ever load, fill a flower bed at my mother-inlaws house

 

Helper bags work wonders in those situations.

 

you do realize that 1.5 cu yards of topsoil is 3375 pounds, plus the load doesn't looked balanced in box so there is nothing disappointing about this at all.

put that in the back of dodge with coils or chevy

 

I love me some lowered trucks

 

A little off topic, but a black Line-X would look good in that truck bed.

 

Well it's well need now the only issue with geting linex is the nearest dealer is 3 hrs away

and this was a one time load so Im not going to waste money on bags or anything else

this was a 2 mile trip a
