I would say you near about 1/2 ton as IIRC cinder blocks come across about
35/40 lbs ea.

Subject: DML: RE: Shocks and Ride Quality
I'm quite aware my truck is a truck, I haul stuff regularly and think 16
second quarters are reasonably quick (for stock at least), lol. And it's
going up in the air a little, when was the last time you saw a lifted car?
I too like a firmly sprung ride but that doesn't mean it has to be choppy at
all times. Although since it's so nice and I refuse to subject it to the
abuse (fun) I put my old trucks through I'm kind of thinking I should trade
"down" to a 2wd street screamer Dak..anyway, what I was looking for was if
people had seen noticable differences in ride quality when changing from
stock shocks to high quality aftermarket. I'm looking into finding
Edelbrock or the adjustable Rancho shocks that will work for 87-96. But it
isn't worth the time, trouble or money if it isn't going to change anything.
At the rate I'm going I will put 20,000+ miles a year on my truck (just
hit the 10k mark tonight at almost exactly 6 months), I'm willing to invest
in some comfort as well as performance, function, and visual appeal...
And speaking of squatting with a load, I had 23 cinder blocks in the bed and
it seemed to squat an awful lot...but how much would that weigh? Couldn't
have been more than 500#...
