Additionally, remaining within the 16K GVW is nearly impossible to attain and still be reasonably usable.
how far are you over weight...the gvwr is a factory fed number... they say that's what it will hold..people go way way over that with no problems...I remember back in the day, the first thing I would do was run over to skips spring shop in vegas and add a leaf, they all were under chassised…

sumos will be an up grade and give you great results for your situation..

you could pm the weight to me if you feel better and also feel free to contact me..I've done a lot of R&D work on sumos for and with them... great product when installed proper
