All of those axles are fine for their pickup truck applications. You're not going to be able to load more weight in the truck than those axles are rated for. The lightest axle mentioned is the Visteon 10.50" used in the Fords, which is rated 9750 lbs. You'd have to be loading well over 6000 lbs of cargo in the bed to overload that axle. Not likely to happen in a truck with a pickup bed on it. My truck is carrying 3500 lbs of equipment in the bed. I don't see where I could possibly have enough room in there to stuff another 3000 lbs in it.
