Chev 1/2 ton box
 
I was at a hockey game last night when they drove a Chevy 1/2 ton on the ice to throw t-shirts, etc. up to the fans. The Mascot was jumping up and down in the box and it had to be moving up and down about a foot. I know our trucks are not that soft. I can see why Chevy's can't carry much weight. If they were using that truck to make sales, it sure wouldn't work for me.:p

You'd be suprised how soft the rear F150 springs are. I'm not pleased with them at all on my truck. A set of Ranger aluminum wheels and a set of 235/75/15s in the back is making it squat. Granted when I had the TSLs in the back it would sqaut too, but thats cause I had 300lbs of tire in the bed.

i had a cut up long box off my 72 gmc in the back of my truck with a toolbox that goes from bedside to bedside (can;t remember proper word) and my toppper this summer. truck didn't even settle. it has an overload leaf but it wasn't even close to being used. it used to be a farm truck and has a 10000 lbs bumper on the back. did ford have a heavy duty suspension package in 94? mine runs dual shocks up front and i haven;t seen a lot of others that do.
