I know that the 1500 136" Hitop gasser is rated to carry 3,750.
I also know that there are safety margins built into all such ratings.
My questions are two:
1- How bad would it be to load 2250 pounds into a 1500 Hi-top? What shape would that 'bad' take if present (e.g. along the continuum of 'if you do it once you'll likely break a spring' to 'prolly not great over time to do regularly')?
2- Would it be useful to/worth shifting some of the weight forward to the front passenger area? Hoping to carry two pallets of soil, each around 1125 pounds, but could pretty easily shift a few hundred pounds to the front seat area.
Thanks in advance for any guesses,
PP
