Is that 3700 pounds the rear axle rating , which would include the weight of the truck,(box, fuel, suspension etc, hitch and cargo) or is it the cargo carrying capacity not counting whats all ready part of the truck?

According to my door tag, the rear gawr is over 7k and fawr is over 5. The payload is 3790, and the 20" tires are rated for 3750 each. My truck is good with everything but gcwr which I'll have to be careful with. I know that I cannot change gcwr, but airbags, Bilstiens, trannie cooler, plus a few other mods will help with towing; and the trailer's Kodiac's will help with stopping.
