RE: OVER THE GVWR
how often would you be pulling this sort of weight? my buddy has been pulling a trailer that was overweight for his truck and it was ok for a while but then it started going though brakes like every year or so. if its only a few times it wont hurt to much but if your doing it 2 or 3 times a week i would look into a heavyer rear spring in the truck to help it out a bit plus does the trailer have brakes on it? thast would help also. hope this helps.
