Has anyone tried to modify their 1/2 ton?
I am looking for a toy hauler to put a golf cart in. I’ve seen a few but they will be about 10,000 pounds after everything is loaded. Current tow capacity on the truck is 9300lbs. With GVWR @ 7,000lbs...

I'm going to lock this as it is double posted in towing section.
YES it is NOT illegal to up the gvwr of a vehicle. Aftermarket places do it on a daily basis. They can change the gvwr of said rig. A lot of things get done aftermarket to vehicles. Probably half of the motorhomes on the road have a different gver on them as they have aftermarket tag axles, or the body manufacture wants it to have a gvwr equal to the sum of the axles!
With this all said. The OP may be able to add the add a leafs and be fine. Then again, as noted, something else may break, warranty is out the door.....
