Your welcome. And keep learning, it never stops.... Good move on the tires. A tire failure can make a bad camping trip... I know this by experience...
And yes, a 4,400 lb rated axle, "normally" comes with qty, 2, 2,200# spring packs. One at each end.
But, there is always a but... The VIN tag and the tire placid is required to state the weakest component in the axle system. It could be the axle tube, the springs or the tire/wheel.
But, in this case you said originally it had ST 235/75R15's Load range D. I guessed you meant 235/75R15's and not 205/75R15's. The 205's are very different, even the OD is not the same. And if it had ST 235/75R15 LR D, then that was not the limiting axle item as that capacity is much greater. 4,400# is an axle size and they normally put 2,200# springs on it. They cannot put smaller spring capacity and declare the 4,400# placard rating.
Truck scales, If there is a Loves, Pilot, Flying J or some other truck stop, they should all have truck scales. Recycling centers, gravel banks also have scales.
