    Towing ratings?

    it's the semi float 14 in the rear based off of my option codes. I need to learn more about axels but my understanding, from what a friend told me is that my axel is still quite strong and I would be hard pressed to break it in normal use. Maybe you could enlighten me as to the difference...

    Towing ratings?

    Ill See if I can find a better number then the one I have for axel rating but my rear suspension is rated at 6000lbs. 2x3000lb leaf springs.

    Towing ratings?

    Long story short Ive been trying to figure out the legal limit for both my payload and my towing capacity. There seems to be many and sometimes conflicting sources to look at, the best source Ive found is this dealer spec sheet for 1989 Full size pickups but after reading it I still have...
