Great looking truck doing a great job , very useful size HIAB :-) ,

Do not think it would be a problem and would think it would lift the front before the chassis would bend , anyone else bent the chassis on one of these ?
quite a few of the modern trucks like Richard mentions may not have an axle set up as good , separately sprung axles I know most have compensator rods but don't work as well , so surely the rear front axle would get more stress ,,,,,, than the Walking Beam type ,,,, have built trailers with axle setups like this as they ride much better over rough terrain especially sleeping policemen ,,,, just my thoughts ,,,
