The specs are there for a reason and it does not take much to figure out were you stand.What you do with that information is your call but at least you know.
Cal Ford, GM, Dodge and ask them if their specs are just suggestions. Note that another poster stated his similar truck weighed in at 8050 lbs that would leave the poster if accurate 10,000 less 8050= 1950 left for pin weigh. For me safety also is the determining factor.
