Doesn't that require me to remove 500 lbs of stuff every time I want to use it as a truck?


With the stock shocks it can get a bit out of control. With the Fox shocks, handled very well.
I mean, it depends on what you want to use it as a truck for. If you're running into load limits, then yes. If it's a space issue, than a big piece of steel plate will weigh it down without impacting available volume.

But mostly, I was thinking that you'd try it for starters and see. You know, throw a couple sets of wheels in the back and see if it rides better.

And yes, the specified rear tire pressure for my truck is 80 pounds per square inch. With 50 up front, which makes that easy. If they are running identical pressures front and rear, you aren't going to have the opportunity to do much.

I'll also note that the Michelin all season tires ride a lot better than the Bridgestones it came with, or the Bridgestone A/T tires I was talked into putting on (and regretted).
