We have one that is 97,000lbs and another that is 80,000lbs. Not sure what happens to make one be able to gross more than the other. We have not had any rear end problems either over the past several years pulling heavy.

I run permits which allow me 95k only in my state. as far as your one truck being heavier, does it have maybe an 18k front axle and maybe 46k rears?
