Again if you're not running loaded all day every day you'll probably never notice unless the offset is just egregious.😁

 

I suspect unless you seriously overstressed the rear axle you would be more likely to see issues with bearings at the front.
You would be surprised how close (in some cases over) some of these trucks run to FAWR with just the driver and passenger. especially if it's a heavily optioned truck and two 300 pounders. I've seen trucks that needed a trailer to get the front axle weight down.

 

Then the extra load from the WDH on high load towing applications would be problematic too?

 

My truck weighs 5040 lb (which is light for a Screw 4x4 3.5EB).
My FAWR is 3400 lb.
My unladen FAW is 2980 lb.
My truck is easily over 90% of FAWR with just a 150 lb driver.
The WDH would only cause a problem if you shifted an excessive amount on to the front axle.

The truth is the front bearings likely have some reserve capacity.
To the best of my knowledge the HDPP uses the same bearings and a higher FAWR.
I was trying to point out the front axle day in and out was carrying 1000 lb more than the rear so might be more prone to bearing issues unless you tow or haul a high percentage of the time.

PS What do I keep doing that causes the print sizes in my post to change?

 

You were talking about you would be overweight if you had 600 pounds of people in the front seat, I think you would find 2/3's of that weight goes to the rear axle. You need to find the center point for the jack to pick up front and rear and see where it is at.

 

For my 156" most that weight will end up in the front based on wheelbase. The 163" would definitely be nearly all front axle load.

I'm getting a strong itch to weigh my truck now 🤣

Also no idea on font, just quoting on my phone.
