Stress will be the same.

 

stress will just be transferred elsewhere. if the springs dont move, then the mounts or chassis might...

Lets face it we are all running overloaded everyday

Whether we realise it or not

Whether we run 3.5 or 7.5

Stick your truck on weigh bridge and see how much weight you have to spare?

Wet chip weighs about 400kg per m3

Updating your springs is the best way until someone has a better idea for legal waste carrying truck for arborists, that's not a £100k or a 20year old mog!

[treequip]

just want to be able to fill right up with chip and look legal, (sorry officer)

 

before anybody jumps on this i know its not totally legal to be overloaded!!

 

Half the trick of not getting pulled is to look like you don't need to get pulled:laugh1:

Gme springs in Sheffield, take yours off and they will add an extra leaf for about 100 a side.
