At what weight does rear suspension bottom out?

And the bed comes down and hits the rubber stopper on the frame?

Anyone measure it out or know?

I try to keep my loads of firewood at the weight where it comes close to the stopper but doesn't actually touch. Yesterday, I had some really heavy oak and had them really compressed. The rear tires were at 20PSI and they were squatting pretty bad as well.

No idea. But the owners manual for my '06 puts max capacity for the bed at 1,000 lbs.

I'd guess true limit is closer to 1,200 and they undrrate it by 200# tokeep their corporate lawyers happy
