[Shop-talk] Help springs (sort of)

[David C.]

Just make sure all the rest of the truck (including the tires) can 
handle the load...

A couple of weeks ago I hauled a load of alder lumber home in the back 
of my half ton, short bed GMC 2WD pickup.  About 620 board feet....Way 
overloaded.  I had to stop in route and buy a new pair of rear tires as 
the overload shredded one of the rear tires.  They were OEM General 
tires, probably not the best, and they had 45K miles on them, but still, 
I wasn't ready for a new set of tires just then.
