    That's true but I'm somewhat concerned about the strength of the chassis itself at 1000hp. Any ideas for that?

    Yup, reinforced EVERYTHING. That's what I did for the past year. I was a welder at a Fab shop making tubular suspension components and chassis.

    Unfortunately for now you just eat #### and take it. Let them know you want to keep rolling but don't come off ### a complete ### hat or a cry baby. It's gonna happen, dispatchers are literally the worst anywhere you go so you can just try to deal with them the best you can.

    I still want to keep the original frame though. I want to make it a sleeper.

    You can box and gusset everything and probably be okay as far as the main frame rails. You will have to four link the rear because the leaf springs will never be able to stop the axle wrap with that much power.

    I have been dealing with crappy people for the better part of twelve years now. It don't even phase me much anymore. I still get a kick out of the time I cut all four tires on that person's vehicle who was a co-worker. I mentioned that earlier.

    Ok. What about the front suspension? The 4x4s has a live ifs

    Never sink to their level. You will just end up in trouble and it really doesn't benefit you at all. It doesn't make your job better or get you more money. Just keep your chin up and work thru the hard times.

    Gonna have to go solid axle, that tiny ring gear and CV joints will never hold up. 1000hp depending on what size tires you are running is gonna need a beefy set of rears.
