Have you weighed your pin? The Ultimate has a 4,500# pin rating I would bet $$$ you are over that amount.

My 18-19K 36' Mobile Suites had a pin of 4,500# and Current MS 39TKSB3 is around 6K.

I am also betting you have bed deflection.

Have you corrected your own GVWR overweight issue yet? Just curious, because I haven't seen you mention what you did to solve this issue since you posted your scale weights a while back. Yeah yeah, I know...you're not over your axle weight...blah blah blah

YOU are the ONLY one making an issue out of me being over MY 14K GVWR. Like I said that number is irrelevant as long as I carry tonnage to cover the weight on my 6 tires.

As I have explained before my trucks front axle weight is around 5,100-5,200# without a load, now add that to the RAWR of 9,750# and WaLa I am over the GVWR by around 1,000#.

Also like I and MANY others understand the 14K GVWR is to keep the truck in the class 3 so it does not become a commercial vehicle and cause negative licensing and insurance issues.

Please explain how they can rate my RAWR at 9,750# without "overloading" the truck as you are saying???

There is many ways to justify overweight, you have found them. Its like your Andersen issue, finding ways to justify your opinions . In reality you are in dual wheel 4500 or 5500 territory. Own up ,and get that new 2018,19 in a 4500 or 5500 , and stop trying to justify being overweight.

Can't imagine adding 2 more tires to my 2014 3500 Ram ,and hooking up the weight you do, not ever.
