Re: load ability of the xtreme

With the exception of hauling 2 fridges, or 2 washers you should be fine.

You can always spend the $150.00 or so for air shocks in the rear and inflate them for a heavier load

with the air kit you will be fine, but if its a 2.2l s 10, it will be great on gas, but you wont go far or fast with appliences

Re: load ability of the xtreme

that's exactly what they will do.
Your new truck will be able to handle a fair amount of extra weight then

if you leave it as is, about 500 lbs, with air assist on a 4.3l, you can get your appliences no problem
