Not likely on a tractor unless it's a heavy hauler. A 20k rated front end will have enormous springs under it, and the extra wide tires, as some states go by tire size and/or rating for steering axle limitations.

OK
Thanks for the info everyone...didn't know I would stir so many feathers with buying my own truck right off the bat. I was just checking cuz I would probably be hauling beets alot for farmers and I want a truck to use for that on my own. Also, thanks for the 12k front and 40k back info.....thats really all I need to know, not the weight of the truck....I know I have weight limits and I just wanted to make sure that I could handle dry van runs if need be. Don't need to seem cocky or anything, but I was just wondering....thanks again for the information tho.
