Look at the front wheels lifting up and the back end sitting down.
Your truck cant handle it and you shouldnt be so proud of your unsafe , overloaded and illegal load.
this thread was started about "heavest load hauled" not "heavest load hauled safely" its about being proud of what you and your cummins engine have pulled. it you dont like it, dont look at the thread! there are other people hauling way more than i did! oh and im not a rocket scientist or anything, but my hitch is a few inches in front of the rear axle... how would that lift my front tires off the ground? maybe it looks that way because i have a lift on the truck.

Did you only put the lift in the front of your truck?

OK guys, lets keep it civil here. We may not agree with some of the loads hauled but lets keep it clean.

Longhorn, why you gotta be like that. Everyone's having a good time and you gotta screw it up. Why, that's my only question?

Don't have any pictures, but I rode shotgun for a few miles with my brother while he attempted to pull a case580 backhoe off the bumper of his F-150.We almost died going down a hill, I won't be part of that again.
