No, not legally will you get to change the manufacturers weight tags. You can and I have seen folks modify the truck to pull, carry and stop more than the truck was originally designed to do. Have seen removal of the standard wheels and tires and upgraded to 19.5 wheels and tires that support more weight. Seen added leaf springs, helper springs and air bags to help lift the rear when weights are applied and make the truck ride level. Seen changing rear axle ratios for more pulling power. Seen larger brakes added for better stopping, larger injectors and intakes for more power, all changing the way the truck was built. Some folks just go buy a different truck and skip all the added work and stuff that might make it harder to sell when the time comes. With all the add ons, the tag in the door still reads what it was built with.
