I had the same body on a supercab ranger and unfortunately once you had more then half a load the steering became really light to the point it was scary. 

 

Would be worth looking at the air suspension to help with this problem. 

I spoke with midland springs today, they do 3 levels of spring, but advise against airbag helpers. I guess they might be biased but according to them  the airbags fail and put pressure on a section of chassis not designed to have forces imposed. Will probably just go down the extra heavy spring route.

Like a Transit then.

I'd bet on a pickup having less legal capacity than a single cab transit tipper with ply sides

What is this thing you speak off, "legal capacity"? I thought the mantra of "if it is on, it is gone!" was an industry standard!

Thing is with a twin wheeled 3.5tonner you have a chance of looking legal.

[Mark Bolam]

There is no chance of that Mick.

 

Not with 4 of us in the front drinking Stella and smoking reefers.

I’ve been in that Transit Mark!

The only Transit worth having is a single cab, no tool box or anything that impinges on your ability to overload with chip.

+ barn doors above the tailgate. The less anyone can see, the better.
