    I agree. I picked up 1600lbs twice a week of concrete bags for 6 weeks straight to pour a new garage floor. The bags were loaded ahead of the rear axle, sat in the truck while I worked my 8 hour afternoon shift, drive home, over night, and unloaded in the morning, so 16-18 hours each time. The truck sat level. The 2000lbs of 2B in the link above was the worse I ever had it and will not do that again. After pouring the garage floor I moved 9,000 lbs of old broken concrete floor in 5 trips to someone's yard hole 7 miles away. Had 1700lbs of concrete block for a retaining wall at my Grandma's house. Five yards of wet top soil this spring one yard at a time, about 1700lbs each, in one day. Truck has 67k miles on it. Still has same rake and rear fender height as when I first upsized my tires before all this heavier hauling. Never was loaded to the bumpstops. If I still had my Tundra, every one of these ventures would have over loaded that truck, too. The trucks are fine for it. Just don't drive like an asshat. All my over weight ventures are night time or low traffic backroads without speeding or being too close to anybody.
