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 ) 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.

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.
