Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler

Thanks guys, it was fun. I was most pleased with the suspension soaking up all the frost heaves at 60+ mph and I'm sure 10,000+ lbs. I think I may need to go to the slightly longer rear shackles as she has a pretty good sustained sag with the camper fully loaded.

The 35's work great with my current motor. I'm not sure I would go with bigger tires to reduce rpm with the old 350 (or I assume 6.2 in your case). Granted my truck is also probably a lot heavier than a CUCV. With no overdrive it could make sense. What do you use your truck for?
