Rear end squat Towing

[Snattlerake]

I ran 120 psi in my 82 mustang rear air shocks when i went to load hauling.
Hauled 45 Car batteries in the hatchback trunk once.
That was a tick over your 1400 lbs.
But I only had city roads to travel and less than 40 miles.

My 1947 Dodge truck of all things is sprung light and is on the snubbers at 1200 lbs.
Ford truck springs.

Don't forget the river rocks in your Teeyota.

Ford was not messing around with their 1 ton trucks and vans when they sprung them.
My dad had an early 1 ton ford van and we stuck I think it was 60 bags of 80lb concrete in it.
This was way before they made 60 or 50 pound bags.

Just squatted a couple inches.. making it a tick more level.
300" six with Dana rearend and 4.56 gears in that van.

Respect to Ford for making a 1 ton you can actually use.

OH if anyone here ever gets a chance to change the timing gears on a 300" six Ford do not go with the aluminum cam gear.
Stick with the nylon.
Harmonics will kill that aluminum so i found out.
