bpounds, id be willing to bet your truck dont have a 6000 lb front axel unless you bought a illegal sticker and put it on and trying to tell everybody your legal, i think your full of******myself but we can do this in another posting if you want, right now id rather you went and bugged someone elses post with your chatter. MR taylor, if my truck can be converted to a dualy would it then have a higher max rear load capacity and a bigger than the current 9600 gvwr?
Yes and No. The conversion would allow to carry more weight on the rear axle thus allowing the truck to carry more weight as a whole. However.....
The the door jamb sticker is what sets the ratings. Without an upgraded door jamb sticker the dually conversion would be worthless.
You could check with a ford dealership to see if you could obtain a sticker with higher ratings. I'm not familiar with the dually conversions so I don't know if ford would approve such a modification for the purpose of increasing the weight ratings.
I have never heard of anyone being successful in having the GVWR increased but there have been plenty that have been decreased.
Just a thought as I do not know your situation. After you take in the fact of buying a conversion and paying some money to have that done Etc.
You may be better off ditching the truck you have now and finding one with all these things from the factory.
