I have a 96 f-150 reg cab 4x4, 302 5.0L v8 and the 3.55rear diff. I need to haul 2 to 3 horses to wyoming from reno nv. Does any one know how far I can push the GCCW? I know I realy should have a 3/4 ton but I dont, if I put a 351 in what would that do and should I stiffen my suspendtion? How about swithing the rear dif. to a 4.10 Right now My trailer rating in 3600Lb not much for a truck. Do you think I canget away with hauling 5000 or 6000lb even If I have to put a new engine in soon. I dont need to be doing 70mph or any thing Just to make the 900 mile trip. thanks to any one with an opinion. Jim
