Truth is that many modern pickup trucks have springs that are close to an old Crown Victoria in strength, and it's very easy to overload the pickup box when hauling dirt and construction materials.
You can fill those huge wheel wells up with huge tires, but it's not going to change the fact that the truck has a 1,200-1,500 lb. weight capacity in the bed.
