What kind of advice are you looking for??? It definitely looks like the truck is way over loaded.. Sure hope you don't have to far to drive.

Weigh one stone multiply by 50; is it over your payload? How far are you going?

I had more than that in mine last weekend, but I only had 2.5 miles to drive. Drive slow and be careful of bumps.

Those stones weigh around 30 lbs each, and by my count, you've got 64. That puts you at 2000 lbs, roughly. So, you're over capacity.

Drive slow and be very careful.

I would be more concerned with the offset of those rims pushing the tire out so far that it looks as if it would crunch a fender going over a speed bump.

I would have aired up the tires and took it easy

I have found that the trucks will max out the GAWR WAY BEFORE reaching the payload numbers.

For example, the GAWR is 4050. The truck weighs about 2750. This leaves 1300 before the axel is maxxed out. The Cargo rating may say 1950, or 1650, which is irrelevant as there is only 1300 left.



Oh- why not 2 trips to the OP??
