    i just loaded up a cubic yard of damp compost. When we got the load into the truck, the back suspension bottomed out. By the time I noticed, it was too late.

    I drove my truck about 5 miles back home.

    I’m not sure what the leaf pack looked like before, but now it’s flat.

    How deep did I stick my foot in $@!?06F8BADA-BBAB-42E6-B8A6-3AE38DA3345D.jpg540CB1A8-9CC1-46F9-A6BE-265E9A7DE51F.jpg

    yep normal. A Yard? Have moved a half yard at a time. About an inch to go before bottoming out on the stops,

    Relived and at the same time disappointed. I was hoping to have to spend some money on “repairs”. Also known as upgrades!

    Really though, thank you guys for chiming in. I thought maybe they normally sat with an upward curve and I flattened them out after moving this load. While the material was in the back of the truck the leaf pack was inverted like an upside down bow.
