Interesting. So from a legal standpoint, as long as the two rear tires are rated high enough to carry the weight the law is ok with it? If I read that right?
It wouldn't surprise me really, since the sticker is based on stock components and people can and do upgrade components all the time.
In WA, you register your truck GVWR in 2000 lb increments to pay for road wear. If you were to be weighed over your paid amount, you would be fined.
same in CA. My truck with TC and horse trailer tongue weight comes to 14,500 I have it registered at 15,000 and I am way under the duallys tire wheels and axle ratings, and I pay $800 per year for the privilege.
