More than one way to lower a 69

Well we had some cement blocks ( for making retaining walls) to move from the back field to where we are building the wall. So after seeing my dad make one load with his little trailer for his garden tractor I told him to just load up my truck ( I was not home when he started).

Well there was a bit more weight than I thought and well take a look.

Probably a couple reasons, first one this is only a 1/2 ton and second it has the coil suspension.

Gives me a good idea what it would look like and I liked it but the front was too high, hehe.

probably wont get good gas mileage with that extra weight, plus it may take me a bit longer to stop with having drums all around, lmao.
