If you're 20 lbs over a rating per say, the change that an LEO/CVEO will cite with an over wieght ticket is slim and none, assuming you using the RA numbers mentioned. I've been upwards of 50% over and NOT been given over wieght tickets.

Do you follow warranty/performance rating? Or legal rating per FBL. If on follows warranty ratings, you'll never be over wieght from a legal standpoint.
