Awesome, good for him - lol. I would bet he had air bags or helper springs based off the sagging ones I've seen. Every time I go to a diesel event I see diesels unhook from trailers hauling another diesel truck, or 28+ft enclosed toy hauler/camper trailers with all their gear. They run 11s or even 10s, then hang weights, swap tires and sled pull, then swap to street tires, hook back up to the 10,000+lb trailer and go home. Point is that it is a spectacle for a lightning to do it, but is an everyday thing for a diesel to do it. And my main point in the first place was that a Lightning is in no way a farm truck.
