My truck is not overweight. I have at most 7000 lbs. on the rear tires that are rated for 7500 lbs in total for the pair. That is all that matters.
Truck axles and wheel bearings on 3/4 and 1-ton trucks are rated for 8900 lbs. or more. Current Ram and GM are rated at 10,900 lbs. and current Ford trucks have rear axles and wheel bearings rated for 9750 lbs. The load limitations of a truck as it leaves the factory and the payload rating stick has been attached, are the rims and tires and leaf springs, all of which are easily upgraded.
The truck can just as easily be downgraded by lifting or lowering it or changing out the tires and rims.
