Some guys at work needed some plywood from another store. I offered to haul it back since I was going to that same place for a meeting. They told me that I couldn't since it was too heavy of a load. I said just tell me what it was. It ended up being 27 sheets of 3/4 treated plywood. Heavy for sure even with regular plywood but add the treated process to it then the weight adds up. So I drove to the meeting and told the guys to load me up after the meeting was over. The guys were skeptical that it would hold that much. The lift said it was 2400 LBS. total. Now the truck has 3/4 ton suspension and it was put to the test today. Look below to see how low it was.

BTW: The meeting was 130 miles away one way
