You cant go over your axle ratings..
Go to the scale and get truck and trailer weighed with WD activated.
We need front axle, rear axle , and trailer.
Then unhook the WD hitch bars only and let them hang. Get the same weights as above...
Then drive off, disconnect the trailer and weigh the truck alone. Put the WD bars in the back of the bed. Give us that weight..
Then post that info with your door sticker info. Front axle, rear axle rate, and GVWR..
With all that info we can tell you exactly what your dealing with...Toungue weigh, and if you are over your limits. Also if you have the WD set properly..
You want to do this. Over axle ratings can have serious catastrophic failures while driving down the highway...
Whats you family's safety worth to you...
This is the best advice you can get. All other guesses are assumptions period. Know your numbers!!!!!!
