2014 Ram 1500. Payload 1229 (sad). Gvwr 6900. Gawr 3900 both front and back.Just truck weight: steer = 3580; drive = 3080; total = 6660Truck and trailer non distributed: steer = 3360; drive = 3880; trailer = 4060; total = 11300Truck and trailer distributed: steer = 3520; drive = 3580; trailer = 4160; total = 11260This was last year so with growing kids and growing bikes I expect an additional 100 lbs or so.Am I over? Borderline? Time to look for an f150 with payload package? Kick it to 3/4 ton?

You are over the trucks GVWR with or w/o wdh connected7100 with & 7240 w/oBUT you are UNDER Axle ratings ---still have 380/F & 320/RMore about axle tire ratings then MFG GVWR/Payload Numbers

Only rating I see that you are exceeding is GVWR. I'm glad to see you have restore almost all front axle weight. How does it tow?I towed with a similar half ton at 200-500 pounds over GVWR. As long as the WDH was adjusted well, it was solid at 75mph. I expect the same for you. If you want an excuse to get a new truck, I'd be looking for something with at least 500 more pounds of as equipped payload. That does include some half tons and every 3/4+ ton.

What are your tires rated for? That is the most important rating in my opinion.

Zero issues with those weights or even lump some more bikes and firewood on. Happy trails!
