i understand that completely, and iv actuallly been in that position. I was fined 250 bucks and had to appear in court when i rearended a guy when i had my bronco, i was pulling a 410 ditch whitch which is roughly 4800lbs along with the trailer which was another 1200lbs and the additional bore rods and blades so i'd say it was around 7500lbs

A guy pulled out infront of me at a redlight and i slid into him, i realize that it could have been different if i had trailer brakes. I have trailer brakes and they make a huge difference, reguardless of if you're driving a 1500 or a 3500.

My whole point in my previous posts was that there is no reason why a "light duty" 1500 cant pull as much as a 2500 can, or stop something as good as a 2500 can.

The trailer brake makes all the difference when you're loaded.

Look at it from my view.... Those of you that tow and haul all this stuff, look at how many parts you are breaking and replacing. Now look at my truck which I take a strict limit of 1000 pounds in the bed MAX and the last major thing I replaced was a rear end due to my playing around. I've never broke a spring mount....

Anyone have any idea on what size lift he is running? Looks like the front axle is sucked back a little bit so i'd say he's still on factory control arms, other than that i really like the stance.

A "bit"? That's being polite....... Bet that rubs horribly on even slightly rough roads..... Aside from that though, it DOES look good.
