Newbie Looking for a New 5ver
I have a 2013 F-250 supercrew 4x4 SRW, GVWR-10,000#. Put it on the scales, weighs 8,280#, that's with full tank of diesel, 2 adults, 2 kids, and 3 overnight bags. Looking for a new 5th wheel, budget...

My single axle Dodge has a rear axle rating of 11,500 lbs. with the rims and tires I had, I was maxed out at 7,500 lbs. I went to the 19.5x7.5 4,500 lb rated rims with 4,540 lb rated tires. this brought my max rear axle carring weight to 9,000 lbs. Loaded truck weight on the rear was 3,900 lbs. pin weight 4,000. Total 7,900 lbs with lots of lead way.

Believe you're wrong about your rear axle weight rating...My 2013 with all new frame and front and rear suspension only has a RAWR of 9750#, and it's a dually...I doubt your truck has more RAWR than mine. My GVWR is 14,000#...
I'd look back at your real axle rate rating and if you've tried to compensate for weight by putting tires on that will handle more weight, your weak link could be your rear axle now. But I don't know what your REAL RAWR is... you don't show what model Dodge truck you have, or the year of said truck...not saying your over your trucks RAWR, but unless you've got some special rear axle, I find it hard to believe it's rated at 11,500#
