Yep, no squat at all it looks like. Also what it looks like is a lotta weight on those little tailgate cables. Looks like they held up ok though.

Yeah, that's the one thing I'm nervous about, but I've done this four times now with no problems yet. I'm just nervous about it going and a roundbale falling on someone's car.

surely you tied them down before you drove to far! A ratchet strap over each one would be fine

Which overload spring are you using? does it affect empty ride and ride height?

This was the first time that I hadn't, I completely forgot the straps at my house.

I'm using Hellwig 2500 series overloads. It rose the back end up by probably 1.5" but it didn't really seem to affect the ride.
