Yeah, I don't haul anything very heavy in mine.
Question though, What is that black thing in the last pic.
Looks like a water baloon or something..

:D

I was wondering that too. Then I had a good look and realised it was a pair of Sunnies (sun glasses). :P

Glad your Elk handled it Tyler, quite a bit of weight.

I once hauled a package of paper towels in the bed, it was the big pack of 8 too, didn't even move my suspension. That was my heaviest.....

Yeah I can see it's a pair of shades now. Must have had blurred vision last night because it looked like a black blob to me. Pic is clearer to me now.

I know I loaded mine down about 15 years ago with a pallet that weighed about 1500 pounds and drove it 25 miles back to work. I did that once and only once and vowed never to do it again.

Stupid job only paid 4 bucks an hour anyway.

Didn't rub but the rear end sure hung low. My rear bumper was about 8 inches off the ground.

8)

Yea... Sorry about the blurry pics on that, and I didn't have a coke can or anything to show how low it was, so I figured sunglass would work just as well...

Yea, I don't plan on doing that again... But I had no choice... As much as I love the Elky... My real truck is a big baby!!

Here is a couple pics of the big baby from the last show I took it to.

That is a great location for a photo shoot. You should get your El Camino there and it could be a candidate for next year's calendar.

That could not of been good for the car.

While we are on this thread, I was wondering about a small simple electric pump set-up for the rear shocks with say, an under dash switch/psi gauge ? Could be a handy device for haulers/towers like me.

Mine has to tow my 1800 lb trailer with my 3350 pound Buick T-type on it----it does it quite well but I have changed severthings about the car to do it---like poly bushing in the rear suspension and boxed upper and lower control arms a 3.42 gear and light truck tires ---got a small block 400 out front too.Sure made a difference---next time I have the gas tank off I plan on boxing the frame too since I intend this combo to make many race tracks and car shows

While we are on this thread, I was wondering about a small simple electric pump set-up for the rear shocks with say, an under dash switch/psi gauge ? Could be a handy device for haulers/towers like me.If you want to do this, I suggest Air Lift (brand) airbags with a 12v air compressor that they also make, very dependable system, they've been around for years. To see their kits go to www.summitracing.com. Air shocks require a higher pressure to lift the body (takes longer to pump up with a 12v compressor) and you put the extra weight of the load on the airshocks lower bolts. With the Airlift airbags the weight of the load is placed on the axle and lifts on the frame within the coil spring pockets.
