Here's the deal, I'm going to be driving from Vancouver to Albuquerque with two bikes in the back (900Lbs) plus gear and two on board for a total of about 1400 pounds.
Question #1; What's the maximum payload for a;
2006 Ranger, 4X4 sport, 4.0L with the 4:10 diff
Question # 2: If I exceed or am close to exceeding the payload capacity. I plan to install an add-a-leaf and torque up the torsion bars. Is there any other cheap solution to slightly increasing the PL capacity (no more than 500$). I am mechanically inclined but I don't have access to specialized tools such as impact.
Note that I would also use the lift during hunting season to get a little more clearance in off road situations...
Thanks for your help!
