500lb Weight Limit

i was wonder why the cargo compacity on the syclones is 500lbs and if you over load it what is the main concern? Is it drivshaft angle or suspension damage??

just wondering thanks

Re: 500lb Weight Limit

Because your not supposto use the Syclone as a truck, even though many people do and have had a lot more than 500lbs in them.


I think the drive shaft angles is the biggest concern but I'm not 100% sure.

I threw my 600 lbs motorcycle in the back of my truck, and had trouble closing my driver's door.

First problem your going to have is the suspension bottoming out and perhaps taking out the cladding. Second is the transmission, which is already overstress is stock form.

I had 600 lbs with a stock Sy and no problems.

Re: 500lb Weight Limit

I'll be getting the full built 4l80e and i've also got the rpm rear coilover kit which still uses the leaf springs so I have about 5 inches of wheel gap in the rear as it sits. I've tried putting 800lbs in there and it still has like 2-3 inches wheel gap so I dont think i'll be bottoming out the suspension anytime soon. What would be the problem with say towing 2 jet ski's? Just the tranny?
