Hey guys, took mine and weighted it yesterday. A little over 3/4 tank of fuel and the B&W in the bed without me in it. 8840 lbs. 5140 front and 3700 rear. The only surprise was the front being over 5k with only 6k capacity. My 08 front axle with the Cummins was only 4300. Guess the bigger frame and Aisin must be heavy!
Wife and I with about 7/8 tank no tool box hitch was in 5,380 front 3,840 rear for 9,220# total.
The 11 with 5er attached front was 5,180# and rear 8,780# = 13.960#
Don't worry about the front since when loaded with a 5er you will add less than 200# to front axle.
Be sure to run the front tires at 80#. I run 40 solo rear and 60 loaded rear.
