I believe I may be close on payload so my next step will be to hit the scales so I have real numbers and then maybe go for air bags and an air ride pin box to soften some of the bouncing on these nasty Interstates. If the scales say I'm overweight that may require more drastic action.
Smart thinking on your part. I've always said if you don't weigh you don't know yet many on this forum argue one way or another about the srw vs drw yet don't know there weight's. Come on folks, get on the scales.We all know that all the trucks pull with plenty of power and we all like the way the srw's park compared to drw's but that's not the problem. If everyone would let the weight dictate what we buy there wouldn't be page after page on this subject. I'm about to run out of
