You make a point there, however on my 3/4 ton i dont think as much stress is being placed on the shocks. Either way most of these suggestions is only going to help with squat, none of it addresses what the axle and gears will handle let alone our poor poor transmissions.

Load leveling equipment/parts should not be used to increase your gcvwr/payload instead it should be installed to help handle the load that the truck is designed for. I have dana 60's, 2500 parts left right and center that does not mean I can haul/tow/load with 2500 gvw ratings. Overloaded is overloaded not a good practice. My rule has always been a 1/2 ton can carry a 1/2 ton no more, I have lived by that rule for over 30 years, towing is a total different story.
With everything welded and tq'd many times I went and did a panic stop just to see how it now handles, WOW what a big improvement over the 1/2 stuff. For once we feel much safer driving the truck.

I was working with a 151 about 2 weeks ago and all the mechanics in the shop I was working in always would ask why i would put that small engine in a jeep. I always responded with "it is high performance."
