I will go against the grain here. With the research I've done it is possible and really not that hard if you can find someone to do it. The reason its nearly impossible to get it done is whoever does it now accept liability for the change and will need to defend themselves in court if called. I'll need to find the information again I had it on my old computer. From what I remember, the actual law says nothing about "certification" etc. The factory original label has to stay and cannot be changed but a supplemental label is added that states the new ratings

You have to ask your self this question. Are you willing to put the safety of yourself and your family in the hands of a salesman who is just trying to make a buck. For me and my family the answer is no, but that choice is up to you. CCC ratings are not just based on what a vehicle will carry, it also takes into consideration being able to safely stop and maneuver?

TV
That's your life you're talking about! Remember the dealership won't be there to put your battered body back together. Also, the bigger the dealership, the less they have to lose. I bought a bigger TV so I don't have to worry. I've been in rehab after a bad auto accident. It's no fun and after seven years I still have some discomfort.

Bag will do nothing for your CCC. They are only for leveling purposes.
I had to have an extra spring put on my 2018 F250 so I could tow my 2018 GD 320MKS. The installation was done through the RV dealer (Lazy Days - Tampa) but done at a place called Tampa Springs. Once they added the extra leaf spring they issued me a new DOT sticker with the increase values that is on the inside door panel near the MFG's sticker. The extra spring gave me an extra 450 LB's of CCC and keep me within my CCC limits with the pin weight of my GD. All this kept me within the limits of my rear axle and I didn't have to upgrade tires either.

This is the first time I have ever read anywhere of someone getting a new DOT sticker.
Can you please explain in detail just what is involved, and the cost?
This is incredibly good news if true. Many people on many boards will want to know. And quite a few people will not have to trade trucks anymore.2021 398M Full Body Paint 8k axles. LRH tires. Disc brakes.
