The GVWR (weight of truck and it's cargo) is 12,200lbs on a 3500 Dually due to the extra capacity of the rear tires. It's 9000lbs on a 2500 and 9900lbs on a Single rear wheel 3500. The spring packs are the same, but the 3500 models have 2 extra overload springs. Axles are the same.

Im sorry, I don't know the axle ratings off the top of my head. Hopefully somebody will chime in. I do know that they are very heavy duty and you will probably run out of tire capacity before you will run out of axle capacity, front or rear.

The GCVWR (weight of truck and it's cargo and trailer and it's cargo) towing is the same for all 04.5 trucks. 21,000lbs with 3.73 gears and 23,000lbs with 4.10s. That is the rating from Dodge, but our trucks can (and do) comfortably tow alot more.

Axle weight rating should be on the federally mandated door sticker.
