What does this mean???
One of the TT's that I am considering has the following weight ratings (taken from the stickers on the unit). UVW: 5020 lbs GVWR: 6500 lbs Max Cargo: 1440 lbs 2 axel's each rated at 3500 lbs...

It could also be the springs are rated lower than the axles.
What I have seen is a 5200# axle that was the same as it's 6000# cousin, the only difference was the springs. But they were tagged at 5200 and 6000#.
So in that case, one could put the 3000# springs on it and have a 6000# axle. But it would still be tagged at 5200#.
I was wondering about that. I didn’t know if the axles came without springs and then they simply installled the springs they needed or if they came complete.
