I have hauled landscaping rock a short distant and needed to hit the brakes so the front wheels would grip to turn a corner.....unsafe sure but the truck did the job

First ya told on yerself for towing the house trailer and now yer telling about driving around with the front wheels bobbin off the ground!
I'll get the garden hose ready to spray on ya, if your fire suit starts melting!

My 02 auto quad cab 4x4 weighs ~7400 with fuel and 2 people. 11,500 GVW - 7400LBS = ~4100LBS payload.
I've hauled two yards of rock and it sat down on the overloads, but it drove just fine.

Some days my redneck brain goes numb
I got the rock free from a neighbor he loaded it with his tractor....and I wasn't paying attention when he loaded me.....I was on the overloads and my rear tires had sunk into the ground
Turning corners on our gravel roads took some bouncing of my front tires to make the turn......I was really glad to get that load off my truck
