My new wood hauler.

That truck wasn't overloaded. I bet it wasn't even sitting on both of the helper springs yet

Yeah, you're fine with that load on that truck. My F250 sits like that when loaded like yours with wet wood and it's just barely into the overloads. Now throw a full heaping bed of wet dirt and stone in that back of that bed and see how much she sags.... I'm assuming your running load range E tires?

Nice truck SUZ, I didn't no you were a Ford guy. I was expecting a little nice side boards like your old chevy had on it. Is that A one ton ?

Well, I was a Chevy man before it became "Government Motors". Besides I'm a EAA member and Ford has a "Partner Recognition" program with EAA I got a darned good deal on a Ford. (I also got the deal on a Mazda that the wife drives and a JD lawnmower a bunch of years ago.)

No it's a F250 (3/4 ton)

The truck will handle the weight true but what I was referring to was the sag. The rear bumper is probably 4 inches lower than is was to start with and the front is way nose high. Not a problem during the day but at night you will blind people that way plus the ride and handling will be off. I think most fords have several inches before they hit the overloads and so they sag expressively. Just need a way to shorten up distance to when it hits the overloads. Still a nice truck
