Reading thru the minihub67 post, using Jimnlin & other posts do I have this "pin weight" thing figured out??
I have 2008 Ram 2500, 6.7 diesel.
Tires are Michelin E rated 265-70-17 & say 3195#. X-2 is 6390#
The door sticker says Rear 6010#.
Cat scale says Steer Axle 4560# & Drive Axle 2960#.
Door sticker of rear 6010# less scaled drive axle 2960# = 3050#
So my max pin wt should be aprox. 3000#, is this correct?
The 2960# scaled drive axle weight is full of fuel, Reese hitch, Honda gen. & misc. Ready to hook up and go.

YEP.............simple math
RAWR 6010#
Drive Axle Scaled 2069# (camp ready weight)
Available weight 3050# (amount of weight that can be added to rear axle/carried by rear axle)

Tires 3195/2x 6390# (tires good with 80psi air pressure)

Rear Axle weight limiting factor.
