Lance 650 on F150
So I just purchased a 2018 F150 Crew Cab 6.5 foot bed without heavy duty payload package. Payload rating of 1739. I know I will be well over the payload rating with a Lance 650 (over 2000 pounds wet)....

It isn't LANCES issue to insure YOU stay within those ratings.
I know it isn't Lances job to insure I stay within limits. I just find it surprising that they are marketing to 5.5 bed lengths. I'm pretty sure there isn't a single truck with a 5.5 bed that has a payload rating to handle the load.
If there is a market for it, does that mean lots of people are loading up 5.5 foot beds. Anyone heard of any problems from doing this.
For the record my sticker states.

I'm pretty sure the Ford locking rear 9.75 has a rating of over 4000#. The 9.75HD has a rating from Ford at 4800#. From all my research the 9.75HD uses the same bearings as the standard 9.75 and only holds 1 extra quart of fluid.
In addition, anyone know what the stock 18 inch wheels are rated for? Maybe that's the limiting factor. I know for 2018 ford made the rear frame thicker than 2017 increasing the towing capacity. I don't know by how much thicker though.
