just a pic of my truck working today. I forgot to take a pic before I removed some. just imagine it sitting another inch lower in the rear. when I would gas it hard from a stop my hitch would hit the pavement

Ouch.. sounds like needles on a chalkboard. I'd get some helper springs or airbags! I bet the hemi didnt have much of a problem pulling it though...

alright i want to post!

tearing concrete out of the backyard last summer. Bed was a little over half full of chunks. this was pre-key ways, post helper spring. Those 295's sure did fill the wheel well!

Ive got to admit though, i think morepower is a little more squatted than me!

the worst part is I have and extra spring in the back. Over the summer I had a ladder rack on with 64 2x6x20's a couple of sheets of plywood and a couple 4x4x12's on it. In the bed I had 50 8" blocks and 6 square (18 bundles) of shingles. She was sittin low then. that was before the springs. I had so much weight on the ladder rack it actually pushed down in my bed rails. That is my I now have the plastic bed rail caps. Yes I bought the truck for work. On the weekends you would never know it though. A couple of weeks ago I used my buddies backhoe and hauled it to and from the job. He said it with the trailer was approx. 18000 lbs. Pulled it 40 miles each way. That made the truck work. With my edge evolution I can monitor exact fluid temps and the only one that ran significantly hotter was engine oil and it ran about 50 degrees hotter. It stayed at about 245.
