It's ok to exceed these limits if it's based on the advice of something you read on the internet.
Everyone knows that in the case of 3/4 ton trucks, the manufacturers weight limit ratings
are pure fiction. They are lowered on paper to keep them within a lower class rating for licensing purposes. Exceeding the reduced payload ratings won't hurt anything but the egos of the weight police. Stay within the axle and tire ratings and everything will be fine.
