You seem like a nice guy but you know absolutely nothing about the subject. For many years, all the auto/truck manufacturers have been required BY LAW to provide the US-DOT with all the weight ratings for each vehicle they produce by VIN#. This info goes into a database every cop in the US has access to. That's why when you get stopped they run your VIN#. Ever notice the "bar coding" on your VIN plate? Lots of jurisdictions have bar code readers on their hand-helds and they know more about your truck in 5 seconds that you will ever know. All the aftermarket garbage you mentioned has ZERO effect on the weight ratings. Any cop anywhere in this country can stop you for any reason he wants, including no reason. They just make one up. If you cock-off to a cop in my state about his ability to ticket you, you will likely get a Mag-Lite in a place you would not normally expect to find one. At that point, it's "obstructing law enforcement" and 1 year in the slammer. Pales in comparison to the minimum $2,250 fine for overweight operation.
