Slick - you're crazy! hahahahah - hang on!

When I open the door on my truck, its says GAWR - REAR 7,000 LBS.

Your's doesn't say that.

You are not an automotive engineer, therefore nothing you add will make yours say 7,000 LBS. Aftermarketers are not automotive engineers, therefore nothing they manufacture or sell you will make yours say 7,000 LBS. If you cause loss-injury-death knowingly exceeding payload, you are NEGLIGENT.

I know it's not the sticker carrying the load, but unless you pull a document from the manufacturer that provides you with authorized direction on how to modify that truck to meet the higher rating, you are practicing wizardry and are fooling yourself.

Again - I personally don't care what you do, just be considerate of what you tell others. By the way, I don't know anything about Mountaineers, so I would never guess your numbers, but I suspect you are within your limits.
