I didn't mean to reply like I was the weight police, but would truly be concerned about going over the total load rating on the rear tires. The pin weight on my '05 MS is over 4200 lbs, and I am barely under the 9500lb rating on the axle. With 4 tires tho, I am no where near the tire load ratiing. Just thinking about E tires on a 110degree day in Texas...
Also, the 4125 lbs from GM is supposed to be distributed over all 4 tires--the pin of a fiver puts it all on the rear tires--and leaves no room for passengers/gear, if the pin is close to 4000lbs.
