5600 lbs in the bed? You are full of it. Pictures or it didn't happen.

Not sure how much it weighed but I pulled a large bobcat trailer with a 84 toyota pickup on 38s on it. The old 5.4 didn't have any problems.

You'd have bent axle tubes, and the truck would be able to move.

Moved a 3 bedroom house today in almost one load. 20ft Haulmark trailer 3500lbs empty. I'm guessing it was between 7500 and 8000 lbs when I got done. It was definitely a lot for a half ton truck, even with the AAL I installed. Tow mirrors would have been nice but she got the job done.

Looks good to me. I know my truck hates more than 6000 behind it. You took the color off the wheels?

Ya it was getting rough in spots. Same thing is happening to the fenders now. Going to remove it off there too along with the trim moldings. Oh and polish my dam wheels since I have a garage now!
