MFG Ratings what are the limiting factors
I know this post will not change the MFG rating no matter what is stated that is not the point. The point is that there are many after market products out there and in the end they do not change what ...

I would think it varies from TV to TV!
I have a rear axles rated at 10,000# by Dana, but Ram gave it a rating of 6,084#, which is the capacity of the stock LT245/75-16E tires. This truck was ordered with a Camper Package that included bigger springs and larger tires the LT 265/75-16E's that cam on it have a per tire rating of 3,415# so the VIN sticker should have been updated to reflect the LT 265/75-16E's as stock tires, and a rear axle of 6,830#, but Ram chose not to do this.
The next thing would be springs, here again, larger springs, no change.
This is all on my 2001 RAM 2500.
Now days most trucks have many GVWR depending on options, and it is reflected in the VIN and Payload sticker.
