Did the Longhorns have coil-spring rear suspension? I know my 1/2-Ton LWB really squats under load. I don't think I could haul very much rock in it without rubbing the tires.

Yah, my 1 ton Longhorn rides a lot better loaded. Mine is lowered a couple inches. Still works as hard as I ask it anytime. Brought home a load of firewood in it some months back, it didn't sag at all.
