more load

[Alkhowaiter]

hi all
i am not happy with the Titan load capacity, i want to be able to carry more hevey stuff (double the capacity) what can i do?

i found out that the Titan has only five peices of metal (i think it is called springs) while my other car has like 12 of them

my question is if i increased the number of springs whould i get more load capacity?
i am willing to give away the ride comfert!

are there any other way to achive this?

My titan is for 4x4ing only

thanks

I think airbags might help you there... But double the capacity compared to oem is gonna be hard to do.

So let me get this straight. You are wanting to do something more along the lines of this?

I am sure if you are willing to do a little fabrication you could rig something up pretty easy. Go to the junk yard and pull some springs off a 1 ton chevy and mount them on the frame of your Titan. Just reinforce the frame where you mount them. IMO I think this could be very dangerous and should not be done. If you only do 4x4 with it why not just go buy a cheap one ton 4x4 and fix it up instead of ruining your 1 or 2 year old Titan?

No matter what you do to the suspension & frame, the rear end is still only rated for 3800 lbs...I would think twice about overloading any rear end by the amount you are talking about.

Dude you need an F-350 with the highest GVWR they have 4200lbs payload. Why ohh why did you buy a 1/2 ton truck for?

Or this:
Overloaded Titan

I almost crushed my truck. Did you not know that you needed grossly more load capacity before you bought it? You could add one (or even 2) Add-A-Leaf springs to your rear spring packs, but you will still not get to where you want to be load-wise, and it will ride very rough when unloaded.
