Why I Love my "heavy half" Suspension...
 

When I need to put the ol' girl to use, she's ready. The load she hauled tonight was 70 sheets of 7/16" OSB sheathing from Home Depot (that's 2 sheets more than a full skid). At approximately 45 lbs per sheet, that's about 3150 lbs. :eek: :eek:

Now, to be clear, I didn't have far to go, and I took it easy, but I LOVE having a vehicle that can do this. :metal: :metal:

:canada: :bowtie: :flag:

Holy crap, that's a load. What are you building anyway....?

Well, since you asked...

I am finally getting started on our 26x30 foot garage/shop that I have been dreaming of for a while. I am hoping to get the slab (heated of course :metal: ) in before the snow flies. The building itself will go up next spring/summer. I am stocking up on materials to avoid the higher prices that are inevitable with the recent damage from Katrina. I fully expect lumber and sheathing prices to escalate as soon as the rebuilding starts, so this way I can save a few $$$.

I will definitely be posting photos of the garage build as it proceeds.

I got just a tad bit over 3,000lbs in my 79- with a 7" rear drop and normal 8 spring pack. Not much in suspension travel left, but it took it and drove :)

I got a load of roofing material for my brother the guys at the yard said I might not want to take quite as much as I wanted. I told them it's a chevy it wont break.:)
