As I said before, scales like guages are calibrated for a range and their % accuracy is baised off of a true reading in that range. Once your outside of that range (above or below) the accuracy diminishes.
The weight I specified is baised off of typical weights for my style truck in general. It may not be 5000 lb but I'm willing to bet money that im closer to 5000lb than I am to 4000lb.
