Best arb truck?

[aspenarb]

Most 3.5 tonners with an arb body/tool locker combo and three muckers in the front are overloaded on the front axle without any chip in the back.A few years ago a landscape guy got pulled at Leatherhead, all he had was grass cuttings on the back with a flymow thrown on top, he had to put the passengers in a taxi.

A 2nd for sprinter good payload good to drive & be remapped to 180hp just put dual springs on the rear

 

Mine, with a fixed dropside body is about 2,200kg empty. (Had it on a weighbridge twice.)

 

 

I've put boards up and filled it, way overloaded, but on twin springs and 65psi it looked ok.

 

They do bend behind the cab, but that's only if they're horrendously overloaded. And it's not exclusive to Sprinters. We used to repair lots of Transits too with bent chassis from overloading. The waste clearance lot are the worst.
