dude them non slip mats arent invinsible i have one in my truck and crap slides all over when i get on it..and if i slam on the brakes..u should always tie a load down,no matter what

 

i know there not but out of all the times ive over loaded not once has the mat or the load moved at all. almost put a 600 lbs pool table in the bed of my truck yesterday but that woulda been within the range of the truck

 

You forgot, the laws of physics don't apply to IdiotBoy's truck.

 

This is true the laws of physics do not apply to my truck. i put an anti physics button on my truck and its amazing when i stop the front of the truck doesnt dive down and when i go nothing goes backwards its almost like im always standing still!!!

 

I am glad I found this thread, I haven't laughed this hard in a while. My side is hurting.

Shifty, you da man.

I forgot to add, try not to hurt anyone out there on the road.

 

I think our site has been used as 'evidence' before... here's a sure-fire candidate for future litigation.

 

haha watcha tryin to say here rockpick this thread will come back to haunt me in a court room after my overloaded F-150 hits another car?

rocky 57 glad i could give ya a few laghs. and yeah with these over loaded loads i normaly dont go over 30. with that brigdeport i was doin 45 thoe just fine. but with that pallet of over 5,000lbs i never went over 25 and i dont think i even saw more than 5 cars on the roads we were on.

 

well guys i was at it again but this one wasnt too bad my truck didnt even mind lol. about 1,500 lbs hey look i was only 500lbs over this time. only got 29 bucks from the scrap yard 1190 lbs of cast got me 11.90 cents haha damn penny a lbs. a cat only got me 15 bucks and a raditor got me 3 bucks haha fun times thoe!

 

While I do not condone overloading the truck I must admit that I am guilty of the same offense. Just not to the same degree. I will not preach to you of the danger to others and to yourself you pose when your truck is overloaded as that would be hypocritical.

I will however inform you of the harm you are causing to your vehicle.
If you plan on continuing this abuse to the truck expect an rear axle failure. Your 8.8 was never designed to hold the weight of those loads. Bouncing off the bump stops will eventually bend an axle tube. Bearing failure may occur first. As suggested F-250 LD or 7700 package springs will help along with the 10.25 axle. I would also check the frame rails just above the bump stops. I bent a frame at that spot jumping in the dunes. You can see it happening because the frame is not boxed and it curves in that area. The bottom part of the C will buckle and allow the frame to bend because of the weakened section.

.

 

while were doing the Dana 70 and 44 up front swap i can have my buddys dad weld some plates of steel to the frame at those stress points so it can be renforesed. i plan on getting 1 ton leaf springs in the rear along with a lil bit of lift.

 

While you are there why not just box the rest of the frame? Get anF250 LD frame?

yeah we mine as well do that fully box the frame just leave out a lil chunk were the fuel filter is and just fully box it and add some plates over the rear axle. i think with 1 ton springs i should be fine.

 

make sure all the line are on the outside of the frame be kinda hard to change a brake line when you cant see it or get it out

 

haha thats true. good call.

 

So shifty? How did you get your own forum? R u kin to one of the Mods?

Is that a bad joke?
