Am I naive in thinking that everytime someone says this it's a stupid concern? You are adding 90-150 pounds to the front of a 7500+ pound vehicle with a front axle GVWR rating of over 4000 pounds and you think that the springs need to be upgraded? I add 200 pound to my truck everytime I get in. I add 200-250 pounds to my truck whenever I fill the gas tank. Do I need upgraded springs? What if I have someone riding with me?
