Re: C20 Leaf Springs or Coils
My Dad's 68 1/2 ton was loaded to the box level with dirt and manure and it sagged way down, tires bulged, everything. A half ton is a half ton.
My 2500 Longhorn has the leafs, the 3/4 front suspension and 1-ton rails, plus the factory leafs and an NOS Delco air-ride setup I picked up. No idea what it would carry. If I had a big load, I'd probably rent a new truck.
