What exactly do you want to know? All of your weight limits are posted on the decal on the inside of your door.

Its on the same decal as the serial number and build date. If its gone I'd carefully check that the dash mounted serial number decal and make sure it hasn't been tampered with. Those decals don't "fall off".

Each decal is tailored for that truck, weights will diff depending on configuration such as year, cab, wheel base, auto/stick, 2wd/4wd, etc.

Give us the stock specs on your truck and maybe someone with a similar rig can help you out.

My 1992 D250 & 5er weighs this:
Steer 3540
Drive 4160
Trlr 5800
Total 13540

Sounds about the same, doesn't it? See sig for equipment.

Now here's the limits for my 1992 with Superduty cooler under the bed (which *does* make a difference, per DC):
Steer 4000 GAWR
Driver 5450 GAWR
Truck total 8500 GVWR
Truck & trailer together 14,000 GCWR

Regards, DBF
