JK have you ever weighed your rear axle loaded? I am betting you are over-inflating for your load.
Sure, I go to the scale a couple times a year. In June the rear axle was 6780, and the RAWR is 7000.
I believe the Firestone chart would call for 75 lbs, so I wouldn't say I'm out of line.
Wow, 6,780# on the rear axle with a 5er that has a GVWR of 12,485#, what else do you carry in the bed. Our 5we is a bit over weight, and carries a pin of 2,700#, never had the rear axle on the 2001 Ram near 6,000# with a heavy in bed tool box.
