I know it doesnt legally change the ratings but I have Firestone helper bags so I am not worried about being slightly over my trucks tongue weight rating.

Hey Jeremy - mind sharing a link to this hitch?

Mine was 77lbs for the 15410. Didn't weigh the stock one for the difference.

I think at that point you are well into "splitting hairs" territory. ...

if you are even considering the weight if the hitch, you probably have the wrong truck

Hah, exactly. This one weighs 109 Lbs. I am not worried about my trucks hitch weight. Got a real nice auto-leveling firestone air bag set up with a Viair compressor with a air tank. Next upgrades are gonna be rear end gears, shocks and eventually either pucks or bags up front. If I do that then really what is possibly stronger on a stock F350 SRW? Not too much I figure. If I ever go crazy on a big 5th wheel then I trade up for a 350 or 450 DRW but I don't think I need it anytime soon.
