thanks for the post. Not knowing, bought 2015 HD 2500 Dmax. Sales guy said could "tow anything" Bought 5th with actual wet pin weight of about 2400lb. C sticker was max 2350 with my config. Added 5000lb air bags and researched axles, bearings, brakes between 2500/3500 silverados. All xact same. only diff was added leaf spring to 3500. Feel confident all is safe only worry is accident/lawsuit about c pillar sticker. You give me some confidence that all could be ok. not worried about capability any longer just legal stuff. thanks again
