If your Dad has 8000 lbs on the rear axle...that is a LOT more than me...and must be one scary ride on a SRW 3/4 ton truck!?
What the heck is he running for tires?
He has some 285/75/17 tires rated at 3970lbs.
It's the same axle as your GM, and SRW/DRW GM 3500 and Dodge SRW/DRW 3500 trucks.
With airbags, and a Big Wig Sway bar its not an issue to drive. A bit of that weight on the rear is tongue weight from a horse trailer.
If your ride is bouncy I would thing a better shock might be in order, or adding ping tanks to the airbag setup would help.
