Thanks for all of the responses.
i dont plan on using it for commercial hauling, and the gvw on this truck is 1400lbs, it has an option with extra springs on the front.

Dave, i jut may contact you in the future, after the white oak and walnut is out of the kiln. install regs?, i am guessing these must pertain to the pivot point and related issues regarding a dump bed.
thanks again
Tom
