Did you check the height leveling valve and see if they messed with it?
It may be way out of adjustment.
Overweight on steers!?!? S~O~S

If your a company driver or even if you are a OO weigh it empty at a CAT Scale bring the scale ticket to a dealer shop and show them. I run those steer axle weights and as much as 13K of course tire rating is good, and I've never had a problem at any scales in lower 48 and Canada. If that sudden change has you concerned, it's worth a dealer shop checking it out. Others here have given you good info to.

Maybe they lied to you on the weight of the load. More than once, they told me 45K, even on the bills and it was really more like 48! Pallets don't weigh anything, they'd say.

You said they changed an airbag and the truck was towed.
Check the leveling valve and ride height. Then scale the drive axles separately. As in each axle by itself. See if you are carrying all or most of the drive axles weight on the rear axle. That could be a very dangerous condition.123456, StrokerTSi, Toomanybikes and 2 others Thank this.
