Question for tailgating

Hey guys, when I go tail gating in my truck I usually end up with hella people in the bed and I am worried about spring damage considering i just dumped $1500 into my new allpro setup. Should i be putting something under the frame to stop all the stress from going on the springs or will that just end up bending my frame. Would love to know if you guys have any advice or input

If it was a Jeep ya might have real concerns.

But 'yotas are tougher than that.

I don't think you could possibly damage your truck.

Worst that could happen is that the axles would go down onto the bump stops.

There is no dynamic loading when standing still.

Might be a different story if you were trying to carry that weight over rough terrain at high speed.

Yea i was never super worried, but id hate to have my allpro springs destroyed after not even having them for a month because i had it on bumpstops for a few hours. Also, people love to jump up and down simultaneously.

I am going to try and control the amount of people on the truck this time too and probably put down some camping chairs so there wont be as much room for 15 people like last time lol

6 ton Jack stands supporting the frame if your worried about your new springs.

They would work like out riggers for boom trucks

Although I think you would be fine.
