Do the math.
You aren’t disagreeing with me. I said the tires aren’t the limiter.
No, he’s just confused.
But in Kaytegs scenario, IF his empty rear axle weight was actually only 2800lbs (he still thinks the aluminum bed is like 700lbs lighter than a steel bed) then the limit would be suspension or possibly the frame. 7200lbs won’t stand on OE springs on any 1 ton.
Yep, that is some interesting math since an 8' steel bed is less than 500# . That aluminum bed must be lighter than air .
