No you don't, unless you have the factory HD Payload package in addition to the Max Tow package. Very very few F150's have this combination.
I still believe I do. HD payload wasn't available with the 6.2l. I will take the displacement.
max payload is 1719 not 1770.
I put the LT tires to help with payload.
Is there anything else I can do to "increase" max payload?
Not to sound unhelpful, but no, you can't. Airbags, shocks and tires will not increase your RAWR.
X2!
You need more truck! Yep BIG engine weak a$$ 6lug semi floating rear axle!
The total of your axle ratings is ONLY 7,800#, that means that you will likely be over your rear axle rating EVERY Pound you are over your GVWR PLUS about 200# to 300# you are under on the front.
Do you really want to run the semi floater close to 1,000# over weight?
