IdaD, you're not going to explain common sense and technical properties to those that refuse to listen. In fact I likened a recent response to something my 9 year old with no filter would say, as some of the "information" here is almost infantile.
I've never seen a door sticker pull or haul anything yet, but then again at 44 years old I probably don't have the experience of some of our esteemed members.......
On the flip side I do understand things mechanical and it's just hard to get me to believe that an axle that is rated at 10000lbs in one application is overloaded at 2/3 that weight in another. (Of course someone will come along and give me a 2nd grade education on tire and rim capacities)

So tell me, do you think that a 2500 with coil spring calibrated to provide a soft ride can carry as much weight as a 3500 with leaf springs. Oh yeah, bag it! However the rear GAWR of 6500 does not change to 7000 pounds, that takes a certified up-fitter to change that. GAWR are something that LEO can look at. I was caught in the middle ground for 14 years with my 2001.5 RAM 2500 that had a 6084 rear GAWR with LT245/75R16E listed on the placard even though it came OEM with the optional LT265/75R16E making the rear axle capable of 6830. Ram use to make the trucks identical except for the rear leaf springs. One could order the 3500 springs and they would bolt in place of the 2500 springs. Now RAM has taken the rear suspensions to for different directions depending on how then are ordered. The 2 2500 options are quit different from the two 3500 options. Chris
