be VERY careful of the front axle weight, the door sticker will tell you how much you can put on that axle. that is your number, you cannot exceed it. If you do, you may be lucky and never be scaled nor get in trouble for it. BUT! if you were to blow a front tire and someone gets hurt, all bets are off and you as the upfitter will be liable. If you ever want to sell it, the buyer will want to see the scale tickets and I'd hate to see you loose thsale over a overweight front axle. Rear axle shouldn't be a problem, 26,000 or under great, overload the front axle-bad, very bad.
