Anyone came close to hitting their GWAR weight in their vehicle?


Recommended Posts

The main concern is the longevity of the bearings and struts in the back, also you have to factor in the max load rating of the tires so go out and check your sidewalls.

I wouldnt be as concerned about exceeding the axle rating but the tire rating because you dont want to have a blow out

max load rating? whats that?

Shocks what are those?

My axel rides the bottom frame rails the bump stops didnt last very long at all... LOL

I really need to do something about it tho. At least its not my daily driver

Yup

i ride ON the overloads all the time... all day, all trip, for ever......

Its not my daily either, but, the nearest show i went to this year was 2.5 hours..... one way. :shrug:

I did get a decent load rated tire i suppose.

It stops like shit (must pay attention) and roll like a boss. Meh.... slow lane, and just get there.

Gas milage? ask my dual alt set up with 3rd a coming...... along with more weight.

I do hope the over load rubber holds. Ill admit.

My tires are good, I bought good ones around my stereo years ago, same with my 24s. but my suspension is another thing. LOL

The only time it doesn't ride the frame is when I go over a bump, it pops up for a short period of time before slamming back down.

lol..... i know this "feeling" of some "air" as well. lolz....

My suspension looks like it came off a RC car or maybe one of those Little Red Wagons from back in the 70's.

Upper control arms are just stamped steel junk. Independent rear suspension with no room for bags.

i will be upgrading tires.. I am more than likely going to have to get a new car after this is built since this is the daily driver. I was shredding tires when i had the last install in the fusion getting about 20k miles out of 80k mile tires.. it says that the axle rating is 2015 per axel so im guessing if i spread about 1930 across them it should be fine.. im all about pushing to the limits but this one has me a bit scared.
