Swit9, Before you take a severe loss on trading out a relatively new truck, you may not be at a total loss here! Assuming your not "grossly" overrated on the tow weight for your truck, you could as others have mentioned..... upgrade the suspension. If your going to be over on pin weight, you could go with a tire/wheel upgrade. This is not cheap, but will allow you to keep your truck (depending upon your potential loss on getting a new truck). We're going that route with our rig. We're getting 19.5" rims (Rickson Wheel Manufacturing) and getting commercial tires. "Much" higher load rating than factory wheels/tires. An option you may consider. If you do an internet search, there is much information on the conversion! Good Luck and Happy Trails, memtb
