Buddy just left here in a 4X4 2018 F250 Diesel Ford truck.
He pulled up to my body lifted 1980 C20 3/4 ton Chevy and those 2 trucks are within an inch of the same height.
Now I got a tape measure in hand and had him measure rear bumper height on the driver side and then i put my 220 lb button the rear bumper on driver side and it went down 3/4 of an inch.
OK now the F250 that has leaf springs also but he wedged rubber between the overload and the springs above it so overloads come in instantly.
I taught him that.
Anyway the F250 squatted 1/2".
Nice and now onto the talk about car my 1957 chevy 4 door that pulls a pontoon with 300 lb tongue weight.
That 57 Chevy squatted 3/4" with me on it same as my 3/4 Ton Chevy truck.
I have the original leafs and some Chevy truck leafs under the '57.
Fun with numbers is all.
