umm, its still airbagged. So depending on what bags were used it still has the same towing capacity if not more.
EDIT: damn avery beat me to it
Highly likely that the airbag system was not designed and built around what the truck is DESIGNED for, towing and hauling. It likely has cheeseball light duty air bags of some sort for a car, because that setup was installed with ghettoGbanger plans, not "Gee, this air bag setup will let me haul another 1Klbs in the bed, right on!"
Most people have no clue what they are doing with a 1 ton truck. It's just like lift kits, I could order a 6" lift for my K5 blazer and put it on my K30, but it would then make my K30 a pile of crap because it's now worthless as it wouldn't be able to haul it's rated capacity.
I highly doubt you could load that truck to 9,200+lbs and it feel like it does stock.
Granted, I've seen some late model duallys in Diesel Power magazine and what not that have a heavy duty air bad system DESIGNED for a 1 ton truck, and yes.... as much as I hate to say it... still can pull and haul like it was stock.
Regardless, setup to still actually be worth something for what the truck is designed for or not... it still looks like a retarded oxymoron.... a lowered G-ride
dually.
