I thought it was odd also. But, the axle gross is 7,000# x2 = 14K. Wheels 15K, tires 16,320# so if 3K is on pin, 14K could be on the 2 axles.

I'm having 8K capacity MORryde IS and disc brakes installed in 1st quarter of '18 so things will change. Also considering changing to 17.5" wheels rated 6,005# and upgraded tires. While here, any disadvantage to using the Sailun S637 S8244381 235/75R17.5 rated at 6,005#? Would that better tire beat the crap out of the RV even with the IS suspension?

I'm really wanting the best safety capacity touching the road.
