Heaviest tongue weight 4 my Truck

I'm thicking about a new 5'vr. My 5'vr right now has a tongue weight of 2100 lbs. I have no problems right now towing.

Some important things to remember is that I have SRW and Short Bed. I have BF All Terrains 35's with a weight rating of 3195 lbs.

What is the max weight that can be put on the tongue of my Truck?

approximately 3195*2 (Tires) - the rear empty weight of your truck which might be about 3000 lbs. (go to a CAT scale to weight it). I doubt those 35's inflate up to 80 PSI so you need to keep that in mind that your sidewalls are not as stiff.
