[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1391871, member: 20286"] So, if you thought it was 1200 lbs payload capacity per Google, why'd you stick nearly double that in there? Your truck is fine, it has bump stops to prevent over travel of the suspension. The shocks carry no weight, they just damp motion of the suspension parts. Non Raptors can carry more payload due to stiffer leaf springs. Raptors have a ton of wheel travel due to soft leaf springs. You can't have both with leaf springs. You can do better with more expensive leaf spring packs, but there's always a trade off in load capacity versus articulation. You won't break anything on your truck overloading it (within reason)- you are simply risking a huge lawsuit if you get in wreck with it overloaded. It's your responsibility to know what you are legally allowed to carry. Ignorance is not an excuse. [/QUOTE]
