Not really. You re not authorized to rate anything. The ratings are set by the manufacturer and certified on the Federal Weight Certification. Sorry... you simply are not qualified nor do you have enough liability insurance. I would love to watch you try that on a Scale Master or Inspection Officer. Try telling them you modified the vehicle and it is all good. That would get a good laugh after they put the red tag on the vehicle.

Safe travels.

I assume you have never heard of custom vehicles, or street rods. When they go for a title, they do not ask the builder's qualifications or certifications. It goes through an inspection, but the level of inspection does not cover details of load ratings and the like. Nothing prevents me from building a trailer either. Tons of DIY stuff out there. They are titled as home built. No one looks at the frame rating and engineering aspect.
