the truck held the weight, the front springs work perfect. the rear was wishy-washy though, I did not realize the tires only had 25 psi each in them. as far as stopping, yes I did but I believe the rear brakes do not work (been meaning to fix em :lol: ) after the block was unloaded I pumped up the tires to 55 each and them load it up with pavers even to the top of the rails (about 2-3 cubes worth 3ton?) it was ok to drive then nice and solid. :D

25 psi could make for "wishy washy" My parts guy can get the cc828 springs for me for about $100. I've got to buy a battery first. Right now I've got my boat battery in there, but I'll need that soon.
