stronger rear end
if i was to beef up my leafs (possibly 2500) and replace my shocks with towing shocks, will this increase the lbs i can tow?

My truck pulls our tt just fine. A little slow on acceleration and up a grade. But, were thinking about a tt with a slide out. Majority that fall within our price range are around 5500 lbs +, and my truck is rated for 6500...... per specs and dealership. I was just wondering if I beefed up the truck or added a few mods, if that would help out any
What is the truck?
What are your RAWR/GVWR and RAW/GVW with the current TT? You will run out of RAWR/GVWR long before GCWR and if it's a 1/2 ton there isn't anything you can do to increase it.
1/2 tons are almost always rated at actual frame/axle capacity, but there is quite a bit of legitimate fudge room on a 2500 or 3500 SRW.
If you want an honest answer we need more information. I am not at all opposed to exceeding RAWR or GVWR (I do it on most camping trips), but there has to be some research and checks and balances on the components... we can't give you an honest assessment without knowing the platform.
