    This truck works!

    We removed a few old in ground lifts at the shop for new two post lifts. So we needed some concrete to fill in the dug out holes. So I did a little math and according to payload limits I could carry 36.4 80 lb bags of concrete or 2950lbs. I carried 37 bags for good measure. She didn't even hit the load leafs by much at all. The 05 SuperDuty is nothing short of a spectacular work horse . lets see your Lightning do this Doug .

    According to the 04 L payload of what 1350lbs? That is @17 bags which is a good bit for a sport truck . My 01 was on the bump stops hard with 1000lbs in the bed though. It was rated at 800lbs payload.

    It was a bad scene towards the end of the divorce. They signed off on the papers and things are a lot better now.

    Thumbs up

    I'll be more impressed when you take one of these into town instead of sniping at prairie-dogs.

    Those new SDs do kick @ss.

    well i dont know if payload in 2000 is different or if the 2" shackles make that much a difference, but I had 10 bags of the 80lb in mine a few weeks ago and it was LOWWWWWWWW....but i was only driving like 1.5 miles with it and I took them off real fast...
