[QUOTE="Calico5, post: 1525296, member: 1799"] It all depends on your truck's GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). This is the TOTAL amount your truck "should" weigh when fully loaded. If you look at the Mfg's. tag (inside the driver-side door jamb) it will list GVWR, and the will also show the GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) of both the front and rear axles (and by extension, the springs on those axles). Info I found shows GVWR for an F250 is 8800 lbs., with the GAWR at 6084 lbs. This weight rating also takes into account the rear tires total weight rating/capacity. So if you have higher load-rating on your tires (greater than stock), you could theoretically carry a bit more weight. Confused yet? ON EDIT: One more thing: If you ADD the front and rear axle weights (GAWR's) together, you would think it would equal the GVWR...? But it doesn't. The axle capacities are greater than the gross weight the truck can carry, because of the spring capacities, tire load ratings, etc. ~Al [/QUOTE]
