Well I just pushed the ol Dak to the limit. Went to Home Depot and started loading Pavestone retaining wall blocks. Stopped at 75, roughly 1875 pounds - almost to the bump stops. Hauls just as much as my old half ton Chevy. Can't beat it.

to a previous post talking about gears an so on and what you hauled for payload and what i towed as for trailers and boats and cars with my 3.9.... i think they under-rated the trucks for what they can do... the dakotas wether a v6 or v8 are rated as half ton truck they work good as hell just as a full size....

is there any way to put stronger leaf springs in or something to make the payload cap higher?

You can do that and I've done that in the past on a Ford - put 3/4 ton springs in the rear in place of the 1/2 ton, but remember the axles, housing, etc. are still only half ton equipment.

shocks have nothing to do with ride heighth or payload capacity, they simply absorb bumps in the road to make the ride smoother.
