Message: [QUOTE="powerstrokes4life, post: 1557845, member: 34166"] You are right, 9k lbs on the drive axle is the amount of both the pin weight and the natural weight of the truck. If you look at my profile picture tho, you will notice that there is no bed, or anything to speak of behind the cab. So its probably about 6k-7k lbs of pin weight. My hitch is rated for 30,000 Gross trailer weight, and 7,000lbs of pin weight. If you run your truck across a CAT certified scale, you can get a per axle weight. and the front axle in these trucks barely have any room on them to add additional weight to the front axle. The front axle has a GWAR of 6,000lbs. When i went across the scale, it weighed in at 5,200lbs, with trailer. It really just comes down to having to add the extra axle. Whether I utilize them to their full capacities is another thing. But I know that i will need a strong hitch if I continue that direction. [/QUOTE]
