Curious question, effective weight over bumps
So if someone has a 1-ton pickup with a camper that weighs a grand total of 11,000-lbs, and one goes over a speed bump or pot-hole at say 20 mph, whats the effective spike weight on the tires, axles, ...

There seems to be a lot of commentary about carrying limits based on well-behaved road and load conditions, but I don't see much factoring in of speed bumps, pot holes, rutted logging roads and so on.
Just curious.

The design limits assume dynamic loading (aka hitting bumps and potholes at speed).
Static loading (nothing is moving), you can typically safely support several times the rated load with no fear of failure or long term damage.
