I would not be surprised if the RAWR is based on his current tire capacity. When you find which axle your truck is using, you can then get the specifications on that axle to find the limits. For example, my truck runs the Sterling 10.5" axle rated at 9750 lbs. My GAWR was based off the tires that came on my truck even though the same frame, brakes, axle and suspension is used on other trucks with a higher rating than my 6200 lbs. I currently run 4500 lb rated rims with 4850 lb rated tires along with suspension aids to give me a 9000 lb RAWR.
And yet you still have a truck with a GVWR of 10,000#.
Well if PNW means. Washington, then he can license for what ever he needs up to the tire rating.
Heck, you can buy a license for almost any weight you want I figure. But what I'm saying is how safe is it to purchase tires that can carry more weight than the AXLE is rated at? Unless I'm just misunderstanding the whole post. Take a 6,084# rated axle, put tires on the truck that can handle a total of 9,000#, and now, though the axle is rated almost 3,000# less than the tire rating, I can now carry almost 3,000# more payload???:h Really don't think it works that way...unless, someone knows that the 6,084# RAWR isn't correct and that it'll actually handle the 9,000# that the tires can now carry....
