200 Lbs

Is there any way to make this thing ride like it has 200 lbs in the bed? It rides really comfortable like that, but like a darn 3/4 ton TRUCK with out it. Man, I must be spoiled.

Put 200lbs in the bed. I have an ample supply of firewood at all times.

ONLY 200lbs in the bed???? If someone put 200lbs in the bed of my truck with out telling me I wouldn't know unless I heard the weight slide around the bed under my toneau cover. It takes about 600lbs in my current truck to notice any change in ride. But what ever you put back there make sure you secure it so it doesn't end up going through your back window.

Two hundred pounds? In the bed or at the bumper? Solve two problems at once. Get an auxillary tank in the bed and fill it with fuel. 25 gallons and the weight of the tank will be 200 pounds.
