No one said you can have an unlimited amount of weight on a trailer. A certain % of the trailer weight needs to be biased towards the front and then becomes tongue weight. If you load the rear of the trailer heavy the truck will not handle right.

Why don't you do a search on the thread called something like "Overweight in Pennsylvania = 3,400 dollar fine"

I am the one worried about legalities, if you want to overload and take chances go ahead. Keep in mind there are other people on the roads w/ your big bad overloaded superduties.

I guess laws are made to be broken...or don't apply to non-commercial vehicles.

I would think you could go to a upfitter who puts the utility bodies/ boxes on the back. Have them make the mods and rather than change the VIN to show the weight increase they would make a sticker showing the increase. If you were to buy a glider kit, (stripped chassis) that's what they do. The sticker will show tire size, weight limit for the front/ and rear, total, etc. Hope this helps. And it's all legal, the sticker will go in the door jam, near the oem decal.
