Thanks for admitting and showing your mistakes. You are actually helping and saving us some time and money. I am so sorry that you are having issues but you did well to push the envelope. The dump kit can lift more weight than the truck was designed to carry but we are all guilty of trying to get the most out of our trucks and sometimes we go a little too far. Even if you beef up the suspension, the rear axle bearings and differential will give out under load in the road. Been there. Done that. Got the tee shirt and it was full of holes...
Thank you. I did this to my 1500 because I wanted to take on more small jobs as a concrete contractor. My 1500 chassis truck can handle up to 1 yard of broken concrete or gravel. This is about 3k lbs of weight. My truck is definitely over weight as it is only designed for 2k lbs of cargo weight but it works fine. The kit can lift 4k lbs so it can handle more but the limitation is my trucks 1500 chassis. I did this to my 1500 truck because of fuel savings as it is the v6 version that uses cheaper e85 and the fact that I use my truck daily for business as well without needing to use the dump bed. I am creating another video soon to show positives and issues I've had after 1 year of use.
