I'm not so much worried about getting a fine - I do think it's crazy that they don't publicize the actual abilities of the truck.
edit - Would adding air bags actually increase the payload? Would there be a way to document how much it increased?
Airbags, overload springs etc will keep the load more level. Techniquely, from an leo standpoint, they will not let you carry more wt, that is the design limit of lbs per inch of tire width on the road, to a max of 20K per single, and 34K per tandem.
Most of us as the other thread shows, only have issues if using the trucks commercially. Even then, personal use has to follow some of the commercial rules per say. I doubt, ANY RV'r will get a literal over weight ticket if they follow proper licensing laws etc.
