GVWR, hardly any sag at all...

There was a thread involving someone looking to make upgrades and it basically turned into them ignoring a ton of experienced people because they didn’t understand that you can’t do D60’s and 40’s and a huge lift and expect it to still be as usable as stock for towing and hauling.


To add to ACAD’s post above, keep in mind that axles are a fulcrum and adding weight works just like a trailer in how you can get a 10k trailer to have a 200lb tongue weight if loaded properly. Adding weight to the front of the truck not only adds the weight you install, it adds a little extra that is relieved from the rear.

So no matter your plans, periodically get your truck to a 2-axle scale to keep your weights in check. It’s really easy to overload the front if you do heavy bumpers, steel winches, and all the lights and shit up there.

Guilty on that thought experiment.

Yes, working on finding one locally. Only CAT scales around here and they are only for the big rigs so my JT fits on just one front scale.

I can say it definitely wasn't you and believe me, we'd all love to be able to do exactly that with our trucks.

You don't necessarily need a CAT scale and any calibrated scale should work. Even better would be a 4-corner scale if you have a tuning shop around. Either that or if you can weld, you can build a lever and along with some physics and math, do it with a bathroom scale.
