Torklift StableLoads deception
I have purchased and use Torklift tie-downs and Fastguns on my camper and they perform well though I did have to make some modifications with a cutting saw and grinder to get them to fit on my 2011 tr...

I guess I am missing something. Does the door sticker say "recommended" or "limited to by law"?
I question the statement "LEGALLY nothing increases your load capacity." What law establishes legal your payload?
Based on the stated "legal", I have to agree with 6Fargo. "In fact if you fit the cab from a F250 on the chassis of an F750, the previous capacities of the F750 are now reduced to the door sticker of the F250 cab."
I get so disappointed reading these threads by arm chair experts that best leave this subject alone. I am embarrassed by some of the posts, especially those that state "legally".
I offer this challenge. When making statements as to the purpose of the door stickers, and or the load capacity of a given truck, include your source of information. I suggest you post the law, by including the legal source, such as Vehicle Code. If you cannot do this, please start you expert information with "Once upon a time, the law says ..."
If my post offends someone, it is not my intent. It is so unfair to spread misinformation, therefore I ask for a supporting source of information on this subject.

It's all good, no offence taken, a healthy debate is why forums exist.
Your 'door tag' is also one of many places where your VIN is. Your DOT legally registered weight is on your registration, here in WA we even pay tax based on the weight.
Lets revisit your "change the sticker/cab scenario" -- I would offer a counter challenge - You change the cab of a 2001 F350 for the cab of a wrecked 2015 F350 - do you now own a 2015? Show me where that will legally happen...It's the same thing. You're trying to make your truck something it isn't by simply changing the tag.
No one can just "change the door sticker" and whola, have themselves a new 2015 rig. In so much as they can change the cab and WHOLA, the DOT will recognize you have the weight class of an F750. Your registration and title will still bear the marks of your frame and VIN.
So back to my counter challenge - show me were you CAN do that legally. And how do you change the VIN on the frame so it matches your new cab? Or do you just run around with 2 VINs and registrations?
So to be clear - I can stick this sticker on my door I just simply googled off the internet, and I now have an '05 with an 11k-Lb weight rating?
