Lance 650 on F150
So I just purchased a 2018 F150 Crew Cab 6.5 foot bed without heavy duty payload package. Payload rating of 1739. I know I will be well over the payload rating with a Lance 650 (over 2000 pounds wet).
My question is, Lance advertises the Lance 650 for the short bed 5.5 feet. The F150 in a 5.5 foot bed can not be ordered with a heavy duty payload package. I tried on the website and from all my searches the heavy duty payload package is almost impossible to get, or I would have ordered one. Plus did not want to go Super duty because 95% of time will be a daily driver, and diesel super duty was way over my budget. Gas heavy duty truck was just too slow and thirsty.
So if anyone wants to put it on a 5.5 bed they will be overloaded no mater what right? What was lance thinking?
I did the calculations and I would be over payload ratings and the listed axle ratings but might be under the real rating of the 9.75 rear axle. (4500 pounds?)
Can I load a lance 650 on my truck? What laws would I be breaking? From my research as long as I don't exceed the DOT tire rating its technically legal. I could be wrong. Would love to just add air bags, sway bar, and LT tires. Any Idea what the front hubs are ratted for?
