Maybe you could school me a little on the GVWR side of things. I was under the impression that my truck was rated to tow about 14k. This model is just under 11k empty. I would never come close to putting 5000lbs in it. Maybe a max of 3k. I have upgraded the rear end to 3500SW specs. 3500 leaf packs, air bags, and ditched the factory aluminum rims which were only rated for 3042lbs a piece. The rims I installed are rated for 3400lbs and the tires for 3500lbs. I weighed the truck and it weighs 7100 full of fuel with the hitch in and 3 passengers. That leaves me with about 2100lbs for pin weight going by the factory specs on the sticker in the door.(Even though I think it will handle a little more with my upgrades). I could personally care less about the legal side of it. I'm more looking for my own piece of mind. Other than the weight issues, any reviews on the quality of the Nitros in general?
