What does your OBS weigh?

I've been doing some thinking lately about just what a OBS can handle. I know there are tons of threads about "how much have you towed" but I'm curious what the pickup and trailer weigh combined. Some pickups weigh a lot less than mine and there are ones with service bodies that weigh more.

The last time I scaled mine it was around 8600, that was before the bumper and hitch/suspension modifications I've done. I'm guessing I'm around 9500 now but I won't know for sure until I get the box back on and scale it. Going by ford specs that only leaves me with 500 lbs capacity, and I know I've had a lot more pin weight than that when hauling a gooseneck.

So what does yours weigh and how much do you put behind it? And is it low speed short trips or highway speeds for over and hour?

Last time I weighed mine, I think I came in just over 7k or close to 8k.
