Brandon Jolley Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hello I am going to be adding 1500-2000lbs of. Equipment into this truck with 90% of it in the bed. I need to know if I am going to have issues with my suspension and what I would need to do for all the weight. Not sure if I will need heavy duty shocks or what?

03 Xtreme Fosgate Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I don't know alot about suspension but I can tell you you're going to have some issues adding that much weight. Hope you're dropping a V8 in it first. I'd say air bags might be a route for you but others will probably have much better ideas for you BUILD LOG-http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179004-03-s10-xtreme-ext-cab-rf-build/ PHOTOBUCKET- http://s1354.beta.photobucket.com/user/03XtremeFosgate/library/truck%20audio%20rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin0943 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 you going to have weight problem differently get some king of v8 in and add helper bags with tank and compressor so you can adjust the bags or go the cheap way just add the helper bags and just put a plug so you can use an air compressor. 02 dodge ram 1500 reg cab 3rd gen 2 sundown sd-2 d4 soundstream rub1.2500 amp all sky high car audio-fuse,fuse holder,wire,ring lugs and rca flex tech box design by Joe X supension-mcgaughys 2in drop spindal ,western chassis 6in flip kit,buddy custom c-notch 04 5.7l hemi motor swap and made it an slt eletric everthing youtube channel-http://www.youtube.c...43?feature=mhee http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/190882-02-dodge-ram-1500-3rd-gen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 If it's a 4.3 you'll be fine. Hell, honestly, a 2.2 would work fine it just wouldn't enjoy it. http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/hellwig-helper-springs/chevy-gmc/s10-pickup On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.
