Doesn't matter how much you have modded it out.....wheels/tires, leaf springs, air bags

Doesn't do a thing for RAWR which is 6000#

See as rear axle curb weight is roughly 3000# you are overloaded on RAWR

I am one that doesn't worry about GVWR/Payload numbers as they are MFGs numbers for warranty/Class Distinction and Registration Fees
BUT axle ratings are DOT Legal Ratings that need to be adhered to.

Sorry but you are WAY overloaded and NOT safe for travel.
