Burner 03-17-2005, 12:57 PM Looks Good! RVC 03-17-2005, 01:23 PM jjgmc Any idea what your pin weight is with that type of a load? I also haul hay with my flat deck. I only ask as I had to have the springs re-arced and an additional leaf added from hauling similar loads. That is on both my 02 and 04 trucks. Mine 250 small sq @ 60# = 15,000# + 7000# trailer = 22,000# - 15% pin weight = 3300# 12 big rd @1250# = 15,000# + 7000# trailer = 22,000# - 15% pin weight = 3300# that is just the pin weight with the rear axle @ 3550 unloaded the full rear axle loaded weight is 6850# which puts me 20# over the tire rating on my 3/4 ton. That pin weight is why I bought the 1 ton in 04 and did not increase the size of my loads.

The truck seems to handle the load well I see no need to re-arc the springs the truck does not bottom out on the springs. jjgmc Any idea what your pin weight is with that type of a load?
