rear end weight
Does anyone know how much the rear end of a 2007 f250 crew cab long bed weighs (roughly)? Not just the axle but the bed, fuel tank, etc. I'm looking at some 33x13.50-20 Iroks but they only have a weight rating of 2510 lbs. I'm trying to see how much I will be able to haul safely in the bed of my truck with those tires if I were to get them. Thanks

Dont know the exact weight but i can tell you it will not be 100%
The weight is spread over all 4 axles even though its in the bed.
Ex: 400 pounds of weight might be 350 on rear axles and 50 on the front. But this also depends on the level of the truck for your weight rear squating will result in more load on the back wheels due to the load shifting rear.

The only way to know 100% is to weigh it at a scale. Realizing you may or may not max out the RAWR would help. I know my RAWR is 6600lbs, I think the 250's are 6100, so that would be the max on the rear axle, if you knew by actual weight at a scale, you would know what your payload could be up to the new max you would set with those tires of 5,020lbs.

In California the DOT scales will not let you weight your private vehicle for liability reasons. Even if you drive without asking, most of the scales have the displays only inside the building. Worth checking in other state as in Oregon quite often the station is closed, but the scale has working display outside.
There are sites listing scales open to the public and very often doing it for free. In my county we have concrete recycling plant that will allow you to weight your vehicles for free and charge $10 for certificate.

Well the nearest cat scale is an hour away, so that probably won't be happening any time soon. The landfill where I live has a scale but not separate for each axle. I think I'll just play it safe and go with an E rated tire anyway. Thanks for all the replies

A bit further you get total weight.
Then you can pull forward until only the rear axle is on the scale to get its weight.
