Tow ratings?

[Rollin_Thunder]

I have an 86 K30 with a single rear wheel. I want to lift it 3" with an ORD kit and put on 33's. What would I expect my tow ratings to be? I have been looking around a lot and can't find what these trucks were rated to tow. I know from my VIN that it's rated between 9001 and 10,000 GVWR, but I also know that is different from a GCVWR. Does anyone know what these are rated to tow? I plan on reinforcing my frame and I want to tow a 5th wheel and I need a base number to work with so I know how big of a trailer I can get or if not then work on getting a new truck.

GCVWR - curb weight of the vehicle plus passengers and cargo = tow rating (+/-).

Take the truck to a scale.

I think you need to use your best judgement. If we all strictly followed the ratings, we would only be able to tow a small car or camper. Tow what you are comfortable with, but be prepared to change something minor like wheels/tires or add a rear sway bar to make it comfortable. And just drive smart

Alright, sounds like sound judgement is the best way to go. Thanks guys.
