A 1500 chevy with a 8' bed and 4wd with no GVWR/FAWR/RAWR/engine size/gear ratios/tranny/year model doesn't tell us which 1500 chevy truck you have so giving you a recommendation may not work for your truck.
WE have '00 up to '06 1500 chevy that have 8600 gvwr and 6000 rawr for carrying over 3000 lbs in the bed.
GM has a NHT package with 7600 gvwr and 4300 rawr depending on year models good for over 2000+ lb payloads.
And the std 1500 chevy with small 6xxx gvwr and 3xxx rawr and 1400 lb payloads.
In most cases with GM their 4wd trucks are heavier built for off road use and can come with uprated suspension allowing more payloads than a std 1500 truck.
So which 1500 truck do you have ?? Makes a huge difference.
