I think I had my rear end a little lower and the front a little higher when I hauled some fresh cut Oak up to the house. I wouldn't dream of driving it on the road, front end was BOUNCY

 

front end had plenty on the ground. nothing to worry about. i would have driven it down the road if i had, had further to go.

no bouncy-ness on that load at all. i hand shoveled all that in, and out. too about 45ish minutes.

dunno if id put that much in the bed ever again though...

 

my leafs are shot from all the heavy loads i put it my truck... full load stacked in green fire wood, fresh cut lumber,load of # 1 scrap steal, i even pulled a trailer with my parts truck home when the plenum was blown... both trucks are stock, parts truck sits 6 or 7 in higher in the rear at the moment

 

now put your plow on and you'll have crazy good traction in the winter.

 

haha doubt it... open rear end doesnt help wit much. lol
