OK, I defer to your experience.

Overloading springs doesn't sound good to me, because bottoming out has to create big loads at the axle. You've see broken pickup truck axles?

I was really impressed by mtnguy's weight numbers showing that his 480# tongue put 700# on the rear axle of his pickup without the WDH.
