IF it was, it would say "One Ton" on the tailgate.

And, really, you should be comparing your truck to another 2WD, not a 4WD!

Factory 4 speed "half ton's" came with "G" code rear ends.

NO bragging rights!

...and WTF is the "ARX treatment"? Valve job in a can?

LOL

I didn't know that it would say 1 ton on the rear tail gate. I guess I'll be looking for one then...lol...jk

I would compare it...but that 4wd is my brothers and IN my driveway. I don't know another one CLOSE...so I don't care that much.

Mine is a 5spd.

Oh well, its still weird it has coils underneath it though

So, they are used for just heavier loads? Some dumb arse put something REALLY REALLY heavy on the back of my bed and it bent it down

get rid of those tings and replace them with some normal shocks and it will probably ride 100x better.
