So I found a free scale to try out.
Did the GVW..my GVWR is 10K and without passengers and a full camp out load...I was at 10680 (OUCH)
Then did my GCW. My GCWR is 25300 and again without the extras and a loadout w/ water I'm at 20620
My Towing weight is around 12380 with a max of 15190
My max on VTWR is 3798 and VTW was 2440.
So looks like my biggest risk factor is the weight on the rear axle. Here's where I could use some opinions...how high is the risk? The tires have a 3600lb per rating, but I have the air leveling system on the rear and course its pushing past the OEM ratings
