    False, most states require trailer brakes after 3,000lbs.

    Sides steeps legally lower your weight rating.

    Gears and new springs wont make your frame, axles or transmission any stronger. I wouldn't want to put much more than 1,000lbs of added weight on the truck. I have several times, but that's not what these trucks are made for, hell they have plastic beds.

    Is the dif gear different in PRO compared to the other models? My PRO feels a bit more powerful and faster/better trans gear changing compared to the OR I had before.

    the pro does have much better shocks than the offroad so it could be theres more/better bump dampening so you can take corners quicker and 'feel' like its faster, but at the same time theres less back and forth motions during shifts and better traction overall so you might actually get a little better acceleration too. Just a thought, but I know when I had the old hitachis on my truck it was pretty easy to get the rear wheels to spin but now its not quite so easy with Fox c/os and shocks and I know my truck feels much quicker than when I got it too FWIW
