    [QUOTE=Goatlips;

    Thumbs up

    I think I got it. I hammered Wheelweights into the rims of all four tires, all the way around, inside and out. That's maybe 30 pounds off the springs.

    Threatened with Carpetman's solution, the 20 lb cat agreed to jump up and down for the entire trip, so she'd add only an average of 10 pounds to the springs, being weightless half of the time.

    I rigged my largest steel target on the luggage rack as a reverse spoiler, so that should provide enough lift to handle the remaining weight at highway speeds. On the road this Sunday!

    Many thanks to all for the input and the spirit in which it was given and recieved!

    Solution is take the heep, I mean Jeep down to the Dodge Dealer and trade off for quad cab 2500 with the new bigger Cummins and it will carry 11k with no sweat. Plus you will still have the truck and you can go shopping in Mich for a trailer whe the weather turns cold and next winter come out and shoot with me. Park in my driveway and plug in. Bring the weights though and you can use my pot.
    Yer pard,

    Goatlips, so loaded all four wheel rims with lead. You might just find that you now have four unballanced wheels. It might be a bitch of a journey home!

    What is the cost of four new tyres?
