Thx. again everybody for your comments I will add the airbags and upgrade the tires in the spring, is the only way to know about the weights is to go to a scale to find out or is their any other way?

If you have OEM 17's you will have to do more than upgrade tires, a swap to 18 or 19.5 is needed to get any capacity.

Your cheapest solution would be to take the truck back for a 3500 SRW. While the differences are minor, they are things that help with a big pin weight.

You where given false information by GM, or you didn't provide them with the proper weights. There is no way they reccpmmended the truck you bought if you told them it will have a pinweight of 3100+. By the time you add a driver, passenger, and a hitch you will be close to 1,000lbs over GVWR. If GM was given all that data then you should be able to get the proper truck.

It seems wrong to buy a $$$ truck and have to sink 3K+ into it when you knew the weights before buying it.
