I guess I should show what I do...

Here are the Trees I haul with my trucks every year...(Just started this in the last two years)

Here are a couple of pics of the "New" truck I bought to better handle the loads, the Full load weighed in at 42850lbs on a Certified County scale at the dump, and the half load was 32,320 on a CAT scale. Here also is a pic of the weight ticket from the half load,

And this is me, the ugly son of gun that works these trucks to their limits...

Yeah, you're pretty ugly...):h

You know, you really should invest in some air bags...They'd really help you out with those kind of loads...

how did you get 11,600lbs on your front axle?

He didn't. Read the Scale ticket again it is only showing 3 weights instead of
4 . He must have had his rig on only two of the scale pads :icon_bs:

Just my 2 cents

It is really hard to get the axles just right on the CAT scales, the 11k was the truck total...

I was planning the 5-6spd Ally conversion, but after talking to IdahoRob I decided to wait until I can just do a full suncoast upgrade next year. I want it to be truly bullet proof, and with the upgrades I have made to this point I think I will be ok for now...

I have considered the ZF conversion FROM the ALLY, but before I do ANy conversions I will be doing my homework to make sure that I do it right...

 

[shortcircut65]

ugh, a man after my own heart! haha. x2 on the homework deal. been wanting to do this for almost 2 years now.
