I’m glad you found the crack.
If you aren’t the original owner, that could be your answer. They could have switch rims because they like they way they looked, or because the 1500 rims were in great shape. I’m guessing they are probably 1500 rims since that weight would be about right for a 1500.
Also, are you sure the tires are rated for more?
I am the second owner. Being an 8 lug rim, I never considered it being a 1500 rim. I know at one point, they made a 1500HD so I guess it is possible. I also bought a single rim that should've been the same as the others. I'm not sure which one cracked. The extra I bought or the original 4. I'll need to take a look at the other rims to see if their ratings are different.
And yes, I am sure about the tires. They are BFG AT TA 10 Ply E rated tires. If memory serves, 3750lbs per tire though I'd have to double check to be certain.
We certainly were blessed to find this prior to failure at speed or away from home.
