Ok so today I wasn't thinking. So I was trying to just get a job done today fast cause it was snowing here today. Frickin cold out. Was trying to get concrete finished so I could get warm. Well this was my third run to the store so I was like f off I'm not going back again. Well I went down to the store only 5 blocks away from my place. Didn't think about weight wise. And threw twenty 80lbs bag of concrete into the back of my heep. Well I drove a block and stopped to pay a bill for equipment for another job. And walked out and was like crap! Watched my rear tires drop down and and just touch the wheel wells, guess 1600lbs isn't ment for he back end. I limpped her the extra blocks threw the allies to unload the weight and just behind my booster leafs I bent the upper two leaf springs. And I already beefed up my lower leaf for towing my trailer.

Back to the drawing board. Any good ideas for hauling weight?
I had two cherokee packs together with add a leafs and a 1in. shackle.

Wondering what truck leafs I could add and not the bastard pack, or Dakota. I'm thinking a lol bit beefier
