it depends on what front and rear axles are under it, there were several options when it was new, and it may have had some changes made over the years, but it could run between 14,000 up to 18 or 20,000 depending on that and the spring pack, you need to look for the data plate, as a general rule, if the front wheels have 5 large bolts holding the wheels on its a light duty front end of it has 10 smaller ones its a heavy duty
