That 2200# is actually over my rear axle plus or minus some. Scaled it last trip with 6k loaded over rear axle which included a 400# quad and about another 150# of stuff in bed of truck plus one adult, 2 kids and a 70# dog. Truck rear axle weight empty is just under 3K. Towed fine with about 30psi in rear air bags but might make an adjustment to put more # over front axle. My Curt hitch is rated for 17k GTW and a WD hitch tongue weight of 2550# and tire rating of 3750# so I'm good.
