'What can you fill a barrel with to make it weigh less/'

ans 'holes'. Still goes.

Please explain to me just how having my my springs 're-arced' & adding another 'leaf' will add another #600-#700 load carrying capacity to my truck ~~~~ WHEN I an at MAX GVWR. I know the added 'iron' will weigh a bunch.

My mind just does not wrap around that 'logic'

THANKS
  • Changing the springs will not change the rating, but likely will make it carry the load better. How are you on tire ratings? Unlike GVWR, it is against the law to run over tire rating. How about axle rating? Part of that rating is the amount the brakes on the axle are designed to stop...
