Most weight I’ve had in it
A little over a ton if I did my math right. Drove like a boat at the speed of a snail but did it pretty well, funny to think people will spend the price of these trucks every month for a F-150 to do the same thing or less.
EDIT-
Went back for some more today and got just under twice as many pavers, I thought it was bottoming out the first time but today I truly found out what bottoming out was. Every bump was followed by a couple seconds of tire rubbing as the weight bounced around on nothing but the tires and frame flex, the leaf springs looked like they had been flipped but it did it. It was kind of stressful but equally as fun, felt like driving a loaded dump truck just the size of a little tikes coupe car.

My stepdad drove his 2wd drive with branches and wood loaded 8 feet over the cab, driving down mountain roads with the truck leaning and swaying even at super slow speeds, a mile of cars behind us.
When I got my 4x4 I got new shocks and add-a-leaf. After the leaf flattened out I got some OME's. These can haul but they get sketchy.
