Lots opinions on this... What are the specs on your rig?
There usually isn't a lot of room between axles and GVWR on 1/2 tons...
My 0.02, I'd be more nervous about exceeding GVWR on a 1/2 ton than a 3/4 or 1 ton SRW truck.
Brakes are sized off of GVWR, so that's a concern. The axle brakes on the 1/2 ton are at their design limit and placard limit if fully loaded.
The suspension will be fine, if you are under axle ratings.
