Here is a pic of my truck hauling 2,200lbs of dirt and 750lbs of retaining wall block, for a total of 2,950lbs in the bed. She was down on the stops, but she drove just fine!

3 55 Gallon drums filled with water=1 380 Lbs of water and barrels in the back of my truck

Yes Booger, nice. You're still not resting on the bumpstops though, I've done that several times. Roughly 2 tons of rock in the bed, next time I'll get pictures.

What would you say is the limit we can handle? I was super nervous, but it seemed to handle it like a champ.

I fill mine until just before the frame bends.


I don't really know what weight to say since I don't weigh what I put in, but as long as I feel I can stop safely enough then I load it up as much as I need. The rocks I loaded filled the bed over 3/4 of the way, and the axle was tight against the frame bumpstops. There was no suspension in the rear, no bouncing, nothing.

If you could give a rough estimate? That was around 1400lbs, and it was far from no suspension.
