Nice rig but you look a bit overloaded based on how your truck is sitting. Have you been to any scales?
she squatted a good bit. I have weighed the truck, but not the rig yet. Truck weighs 8700lbs with full tank of fuel and me in it..12400 GVWR. I have 4074lbs payload per door sticker, but real world according to scales is 3700 left. GRAR is 7000, tires are rated to 7200 or so.
The 345 has claimed weight of 13510 per yellow sticker...friend that works at another dealer weighed the same model as mine (sticker on that one showed 13690) and the scaled weight was within 50lbs...also the pin weight on the other rig was within 25 lbs of the advertised pin weight...right at 3100lbs...mine should be very close.
I am guessing I will be around 3300-3400lbs on the pin loaded up..all my heavier items (camp stove, grill, bikes, cornhole boards, etc, etc are in the garage behind the axles..I have maybe 75lbs max in the basement)...will have even less pin weight when I have the atv's in the garage...I will be up close to the max payload of the truck, but I should be ok.
I ordered a set of Timbrens as I felt the squat was a bit much (about 4 inches hooked up). I am going to weigh the rig loaded for camping this Friday so we will see for sure how the numbers work out
