I don't want to be a party pooper & weight police, the max payload ratings are there for a reason, although our trucks are very capable, it will handle the weight without a sweat, the only concern i have is liability, if you were ever involved in a crash and an investigation proofs that the cause of the accident is due to overloading, you could be charge with criminal neglegance. Installing airbags does not increase your max. payload. If you dry pin weight is 1480lb all you have room for is a full tank of gas at 300lb, you are at your max before even getting onto the driver seat. You can argue with anyone here and win, but you can't argue with the law, personally, i wouldn't do it.
