Well, good or bad, if the GVW is 8100 you legally cannot make/have the truck weigh more than that and drive it on a public roadway.

my 78 f250 has a rating of 8100 also . the heaviest thing i've carried in it was a 3600+lb. scissor lift. the truck has a 4" lift as well and after loading the lift the rear sagged pretty good.
