front suspension max weight

[tanbuddy]

I dont know if this should be under the axle forum or this one. But what is the max weight capacity of the dana 28 axle, and the front end of a 2nd gen in general.
My door sticker gives me 26xx lbs, and with my plow on my front end is closer to 2800 lbs.

I think the capacity would be how much the front coil spring will sag with that much weight on it. But if that's a problem some kind of spacer or longer coils will help

IM only sagging 1 inch when i lift the plow, which isnt too bad i guess. Adding the frame and lights to the front dropped it only a 1/2 - 1/4 inch before that
