I'm lost now. My door sticker says axle gaw front 6000 an rear 6500. Must I weigh the empty truck to get unladen weight?
Yes, just the truck, get separate axle wts. Very little wt is added to front axle, when adding FW pin wt. You need to have truck full fuel, people gear, pay attn to rear axle, for example it weighs 3,000 lbs, now add 200lbs for hitch installed 3200 lbs. RAWR is 6,500 so you could add 3,300 more pin wt to rear axle. By adding air bags, or other suspension improvement, a bit more, but stay some under your tire rating.
