I agree with most of the others on this thread, your problem will be pin weight and the only real answer to that is to get a DRW.
If you try to overcome this by loading everythign heavy behind the wheels you will create a stability situation and that is far more dangerous that being overweight.

If truck ratings are too high then how do you know DRW will work?
Ok all. I took the opinions of all the "weight police" experts and ordered a 3500 SRW. I now feel much more comfortable with that decision after what everyone has commented on. For me, I work alot and don't travel but long weekends and within 4-5 hours of my home so I feel comfortable that I've made the right decision (thanks to all of you) to just order a 3500. Boy, those 3500's are hard to find in stock.
