Just put the Ram on the scales to get an idea of what my baseline weight is and was supprised to see 8020# on the readout!  Shocked 
 
Full tank of fuel, me, and 4 rims in the bed.  Only mods worth any weight is a gooseneck hitch. 
 
Spec's:  Quad cab, long bed, srw, 1 ton, 4x4.

I'm purdy sure that you can run over to the dump and drop some trash and they will give you a receipt that tells you before and after weight, and It wouldn't cost much if you didn't take much.  < id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

Cat Scales work fine. Used to have to weigh my stuff when moving while in the military , they would pay you by the pound iirc. Surely there was some reason I was pullin the u haul across the scale.....Confused

You can go to any of the truck stop CAT scales.  It'll cost you $10
They have multiple pads so make sure trailer axles are on one pad, front tow is on one, and rear tow are on another.
