You are smart to stick with the GCWR recommendations for two reasons.

1) In spite of what might appear to be "identical parts" they are not. For example, ABS computers are programmed based on weight and tire size.

2) All trucks' GVWR and GCWR are tied to individual VIN #s and available to the DOT nazis online. The law is very specific, despite any amount of parts swapping or other modifications you may make, if you are over the spec in the computer you get your equipment seized until you pay a might hefty fine.

You make an interesting observation. It's usually some cheapskate with little regard for his life or anyone elses who thinks he's an engineer and can build his own tow string who ends up in the weeds. Professionals who tow for a living follow the rules and rarely have problems, either with accidents or the DOT.
