Ponch,

Our rig had it's GVW changed by ordering the "magnum suspension" and the 17.5" wheels when we set up the deal. Our sticker also reads 18,500 lbs. I'm glad I did order the 8k axles or the trailer would be maxed out weight, empty.

I have been very curious about the new 20k capacity when I saw the Elite model with the higher weight limit and no visible difference from my own rig's undercarriage. I was wondering what they did to justify the higher capacity and if they would "retro" a higher sticker for current units. Given your new sticker in your post I am assuming they won't.
