My truck is a 2000 Dodge 2500 cummins diesel. but not really.
I have an Allison transmission, exhaust brake, up graded rear leafs, upgraded front springs, 3rd gen brakes,(35% more stopping power) and 19.5 wheels and tires. It's really more like a heavy duty 3500 single axle. I was waiting to see what Gary Hubbard came up with, but is looks like I'll be buying a Eagle Cap 995 in the spring. I do like the 1160, but just can't seem to want to try and put it on a single axle. I think the 995 will be my limit.
I know what the weight police are thinking, but believe me, with my mods I've had over 5000 lbs in the bed and the truck still sat level and the springs were just touching the overloads, and I could still lock up all four wheels, no problem.
