[QUOTE="lateralis, post: 1484470, member: 35325"] I plan on doing this with mine as well! The way I read this is that @850lbs in the bed you're 0.5" over stock height therefore you have full suspension travel. Sooo yes it increases capacity? I know the baja guys run similar weights with all their stuff and they do just fine. Now one thing I've seen some run into issues with is the racks mounted on the bedsides. Granted they were beating the **** out of there trucks in the desert but at a lower weight the bedsides were bending or shifting the entire bed. Also I think a decent rule for water is 2 gallons per person per day if you don't have a water source you can tap where you are at with like a water filter and boiling. So like 2 people for 5 days with no water source should have 20 gallons which is about 167lbs in water alone not counting what's holding it. [/QUOTE]
