An 89 Astro we had was at 6100 of 6200 total. 3100 of 3100 on the rear. 3000 of 3100 on the front.
My navistar on the other hand, total GVWR IS the sum of the axel components lowest denominator. Axel front 6000, tires 7000 springs 8K. Rear axel springs 15500, rims 12600, tires 12200. 12200 plus 6000 equal 18200. Legally with stock 8r19.5 tires, I can go down the road at 29k with 600 lbs per inch width of tire. Not that I will recomend this......
