OK...I just got back from the Flying J scales.....4,880 on the front, and 3,360 on the rear, for 8,240. Thats me, the wife, the dog, the truck box as is, and full of fuel. I am also going to the CAT scales for a second weighing.
Wheels on my truck are rated @ 3,700lbs each, tires are rated @ 3,415lbs each.
Specs on unit say 2,900lb hitch weight, 13,400lbs shipped weight.
My truck has a 9,900lb GVWR, 20,000lbs GCWR, so it appears that I am over on the GVWR by 1240, and over on the GCWR by 1680, with this particular unit.
Am I doing the math correct?
Any suggestions, on how to make this work, short of buying a new truck?
FWIW...I also have the Firestone airbags w/compressor, and the B&W turnover w/companion hitch.
Truck....2003 F350 SD, CC, LWB, SRW, 7.3 PSD, Auto, 4X4
Truck mods...AIS cleaner, ISSPRO 3 guage pillar, Magnaflow 4" exhaust, SC1705 tuner, Fabtech bars....waiting for tranny to go so I can get a new one from BTS, but so far, no problems with the OEM unit. 35x12.50x16.5 tires on 16.5x9.75 wheels.
