hey guys, i do alot of construction and moving lots of things incuding yards of dirt,gravel, ect, and im terrified of like inverting a leaf, and i dont like driving around like a boat.. what are my options on maximizing my payload, i know its add a leaf, but who makes the strongest one? and can i add more then 1?

THIS IS FOR A RAM NOT MY DAKOTA.. it is a 01 1500, 6 1/2 bed

 

You could use 3/4 ton overloads to stiffen it up.

 

or this.

You can add a leaf, there are coil over shocks, or air bag it.

 

These are the overloads I have on my truck. Just remember your axles have a limit.

 

New coils in the front and add-a-leafs.

 

I'm not sure if they make any for second gens but I have Hellwig LP-25s on my ram. I can throw 1,000 lbs in the back of mine and it lowers about a half an inch. They're absolutely awesome and did not affect my ride quality at all.

 

get the air bags they are there weight in gold. i also haul alot of dirt and gravel and all i have to do is pump them to 50 lbs and can haul 1 ton and half and she dont squat at all. they bolt over the top of the leaf pack and bolt to the frame but you will need to remove the inner plastic fender well for them
