I just looked up the data, and you're right the RAWR is 3,850 lbs compared to the max tow trucks with the 4,050 lb RAWR. I don't know...I've never noticed any noticeable difference in the way a truck handles a little over or a little under the max capacities. I know whenever you go over the ratings of tires, wheels, or axles you run the risk of damaging equipment or having scary handling, but the axle itself is rated for 4,800 lbs, and the brakes are identical among all models. So outside of a slightly softer spring that can be compensated for, I have a tough time with the paper numbers thrown about for limitations. I know that 4,050 lbs maxes the capacity of the factory wheels, and that's the point at which I would not cross.
BTW I just noticed that you don't live far from me. I work in Manchester.
