Default Leveling kit lost me MPG





It leveled out nice, but the ride suffered a bit so I decided to remove it



Some time you just have to try and see how she handles a big load, I had a 1500 behind me at Homo Depot loading area, He was telling his wife he want to see how much the rear end went down.

He told me he was surprised it only went level, I said CTD is a real truck, I had 90 blocks and 5 bags of mix at a total 4650 pounds,I wouldn't make any long hauls loaded like this, but a few miles and keeping under 70 in the curves, no problem

I can't wait to haul rocks with mine. My ranger could only take a scoop and a half of gravel from a bobcat. Load em up!

That’s a nice lite load you had on it being they are only rated to carry about 2250 lbs in the short bed and about 2500 lbs in the long bed trucks.

Try hauling that load with an import =). I love seeing pics of these trucks doing what they were built for!

LOL .... that's awesome !!

Is that all block shrink wrapped up like that? I'd be afraid that the wrap would tear or something and blocks would be a flying !!

If it was more than 2 miles or I had to go over 35MPH the load would have went on the trailer, but you have to admit it didn't squat the rear end, but then again I wasn'tlooking to hit any big bumps either
