The air bags just make the truck look level and the DOT may not check you. As for the deck and truck it all depends on weight. 2 sleds (XP's = 900 lbs; yami's = 1200 lbs, poo's = 1100 lbs, cat's = 1100 lbs) and the gear, fuel, etc. in the truck and you have problems.

A half ton cannot have 2 sleds on a deck and gear and be legal where ever it is.
And as Mikey many numbers says....do a search

Dont forget Overkill131313 when he said he can load 2 turbo Yamahas and fuel and gear and stop way quicker than if he was empty.

Havent we discussed this one to death already...who keeps asking these questions??? Why do people buy half tons? Why do people buy Dakotas, Nissans, and Toyotas??? For transportation I assume, so why does everyone think they can haul a deck and 2 sleds. You want a 'work' truck, or a hauling truck. buy one...

I swear, the next guy that asks this should receive a t-shirt...

Its not that they do not pass for BC, they don't legally pass anywhere that monitors or enforces the max payload/GVW of the vehicle. (pretty much all of N.America)

BC or not, if you exceed your GVW with your payload, you are breaking the law. The vehicle was designed to carry up to a certain load. Exceed that and you could run into safety related issues with the truck.

1/2 tonnes are no longer true half's, 3/4 tonnes are no longer true 3/4 and so on. Research the vehicle you plan on purchasing for your intended use.

how much beer is stored under the deck and if lite beer you should be good to go right? how about if you lower tire pressure to say 25lbs, you could then add 4 more cases of beer at least. :beer:
