Load Weight of Wheels

[Sentry]

Grrr, I was just looking at the wheels I currently have on the Hoe.. American Eagle Series 055; 15X8 5 on 4.75"

The Load weight is 1900 lbs for them.

The truck weighs 6000 correct?

If I load it up to suspensions weight 1495 lbs and add a trailer which its self may weigh up to 3000 lbs.


Where do you all think I am sitting? If I am right, I have 3800 lbs to play with on the rear wheels.

Can I really expect problems? If so, what problems might I expect?

So far the weight I am expecting in the rear storage area will be 365.3, but I know I will be adding more... I suppose I can figure tongue weight when trailer is corrected at about 150-200? Maybe? Not sure how to figure that just yet...

4x4 about 5500lbs. so 5500+1495=6995+ trailer tongue weight. not total trailer weight as for as suspension load is concerned. for a trailer of 3000lbs you should have tongue weight of about 300 so 300+1495+5500=7295. 305 pounds short of rated capacity of all four wheels when grouped together. do not put 3800lbs on the rear axle the suv will collapse. you can tow about 6-7k but it is the tongue weight of the trailer that gets added to vehicle load like passengers and cargo mounted inside or on roof.

The 3800 lbs I was referring to was the load of the rear wheels... Ultimately it sounds as though Im good.
