Wow, looking at the stripped chassis specs, I'm 100 lbs over the GAWR on the front and 1100 lbs under in the rear. That is depending on the base wheelbase they used before stretching to 188"--if they used the 158" or 176" frames then I'm 300 lbs under and 1800 under in the rear.

At least for the 2016 version: E-Series cutaway specs (pdf)

Someone posted drawings of chassis a month or two ago, and it showed Thor starting out with 158-inch wheelbase and then stretching 30-inches to get to 188 inches.

Regarding your rear axle, Axis and Vegas on E-350 chassis are built on 12,500-pound GVWR instead of the lighter-duty 11,500-pound chassis, so your Axis should have an 8,500-pound rear axle, not the 7,800-pound axle.

Specs also show front axles themselves are rated at 5,000 pounds. It appears lighter springs account for the 4,600 ratings. Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about the 100-pound overload -- but that's just me.
