Default over loaded how bad is itfor the truck ?

I took some dirt to the dump and I new the truck was overloaded. On weigh back it said I dumped about 1.34 tons. My truck is loaded now with alittle more then the first trip now. I was wondering how bad is it to ride the stops. The first trip I was not riding the stops but they would hit. Now the truck is on the stops, Ive got about a 7 mile drive to work and I will dump it after work about another 12 miles or so. How bad is it to do this??

I would say you are running the risk of springing the suspension, breaking some part of the suspension, or springing the frame. This is an '04? All I can say is don't hit any bumps.

yah I'm going to take it very easy. I was shocked at how much it sagged the first trip. The last time I moved dirt I used a f250 with a long bed and a six inch lift and it didn't sag at all like this. I should have gotten a 2500!
