You'll probably be fine. I weighed my truck at a gravel pit: 4000 lbs on the front axle and 3000 lbs on the rear, 7100 lbs total weight. That explains why I don't feel fluffy little critters under my wheels.

If you haven't used them yet, I would recommend taking them back and trading up to the 3 ton. I always feel more comfortable with a little overdesign when it comes to several tons over my head.

Nah, I'd take them back, get my money back and just pick up a couple old cinder blocks
