Thread title got me on that one. The OP was asking about 1 ton trucks.
17200 lb 5ver is too much for a 1 ton srw as well... unless you disregard all ratings ....including max tire carrying capacity. I don't give gvwr a whole lot of regard and adding air bags can increase an axle's ability to carry weight but to disregard tire ratings is going too far in my mind.
I agree. Tire ratings are where it's at IMHO.
I don't see where the OP posted his weights..but realistically a SRW maxes out around 3000-3500 lbs of payload..generally that's for a gasser. 17,200 is too much for a gasser too.
Thanks!
