so some one tell me what the hell is up with the suspension being soooooo soft. please

You have the equiv of a 1/4 ton truck (mid sized) 800 lb is actualy alot of lb to be back there where our trucks shine is the pulling power (6000 lb) if you think about it 1/4 ton is 500 lb and the newer trucks made past about mid 80's are rated at max so 500 would be about max you shoild put back there. there are helper springs and ect that can help but they so change the ride of the truck
