If it was right even between axles, it is equivalent to adding 1000 pounds to the rig. If right over a single axle, it has the same impact on that axle as adding 2000 lbs. overall. At the least tire pressure adjustment is in order.
Really you are supposed to air up all tires on the axle for the heavier load. I like to air the outsides on dualies a few pounds higher than the inside tires for stability (up to a 5 psi difference is still within Ford specs).
