Finally got the truck to squat

bloombloom88 · May 29, 2013

I did some tree trimming this morning and loaded everything up as I went. This is the first time I've had my truck squat due to payload. I wish I could say excessive payload but it probably ended up between 500-1000 pounds which is not enough weight to cause this IMO, stupid coil springs...

Just thought I'd share

These trucks do sag a little when loaded. I don't tow enough to worry about it, but have you given any thought to the airlift helper bags.

Thats odd. I've had 1500 lbs worth of fertilizer in the bed of my 2012 1500 and it didn't squat near that much

I haven't put that much weight in my bed yet, but I also think it's a little strange that it squatted that much under that weight. It looks as if you had like 8 or 9 people sitting in the bed.

I've looked into it but I don't tow or haul enough to need them. This was a pretty big trim, I had several logs that were 24 to 36 inches in diameter that weighed a good 75 pounds and then smaller ones around 50. I definitely noticed a difference in performance while loaded down

Maybe it's just me but it looks level to me
