Hey fellas,
I recently bought a 2001 F550 in pretty great condition. Currently, it has a flatbed on it, but I want to replace it with a chipperbox by Arbortech that I am buying used off a friend (smallest box 11'). Arbortech's minimum GVWR is 19,500 lbs. Unfortunately my 2001 F550's GVWR is 17,500 lbs. How big of a problem is this? Should I just plan on dumping it more often or is this a legal concern which I could be sued for? I see plenty of 3500 chassis' out there rocking boxes well over their payload, but I want to cross my t's and dot my i's.
Thanks for the help!
