My Hawk, dry and empty from the factory, was just under 1400 pounds with the jacks removed. Fully loaded i'm over a ton.
While some seem to be happy with a 1/2 ton and a Hawk, I think with a Grandby, your winch etc. you will be way over your max payload (my sticker was in the glovebox).
If you go forward at least add load range E tires. In an overloaded condition tires are usually the first thing to go bad.
I'll never forget this ride:
I do plan on purchasing E rated load tires and Firestone Ride Rites and better shocks, as a start for suspension upgrades.
I am curious in that you state your Hawk empty weighs in at 1400 lbs. but they advertise the hawk dry weight at 895 lbs, is that with your added optional upgrades included?
