Well me and a friend chopped down a maple for some old lady, The dodge took all the usable wood, (to bad its still green i could use the firewood now) I still had 1-2in until hitting the bumpstops and on the way home it never rubbed at all. Heck i couldnt notice it very much I wish i would ave weighed it to see how much wood i had

 

Must have been a pretty decent sized tree to fill the truck like that. Nice.

I pretty much did the same thing about a month-month and a half ago but it was a heaping load of 3/4" screened wet road gravel - more or less some sort of B gravel for those that know about that sort of thing. I don't know how much weight was in there, but I know it was a lot ahahah. My truck looked like yours but I also had a box-sized trailer on the back that I was pulling as well.

 

Get yourself some air bags. You can make anything look legal with em. lol

 

Heaviest load I've had was filling the bed to just over the wheel wells with chewed up asphalt - like the road crews do when they remove the asphalt all the way to the bed...

Don't know what the weight was but when I crossed the tar strips in the road I could feel I was hitting the stops.
Steering was also 'a tad' light

 

heaviest i'v hauled was 5.98 tons with 89 ferd 7.3 350 with a cam superliner hanging off the tail , wet firewood
