that doesn't make much sense...but the facts are facts...man that means you prolly can't make 2,000 lbs legally.....the thing must be 500 lbs heavier then my 2005....
The smallest dually is rated at 9990.

I can get about 1,600lbs in my 2500 sprinter van...........I got to get a new phone ever 3 months with all the calls I get .......ha,ha,ha.
another member here is currently removing the passenger seat and any and all particle board and replaced it with plywood....expects to get up to almost 2,000lbs...
Back in the old day, if you wanted a dually, you could get a kit. The kit had a spacer to space the wheels out from the body. Is there a spacer made to space Sprinter wheels out? So the wheel wells can be made to have more room between them.

I'v seeing many vans set that way , not a sprinter ,good idea !,
bet it will eat your Load capacity
If you move the tires and rims out on a full floater axle (which the 3500 Sprinter has) you will increase the load on the outer wheel bearing by quite a large factor and it will be at risk for failure. Something to think about before you go to any expense to do this and move the wheel wells out.
These types of problems were encountered on the first adaptations of wide base single tires on the big trucks and trailers. Most used a rim that had an offset that was 2 inches further out than the stock dual pairing. The result was a lot of fried outer wheel bearings on trailers and fairly quickly, a letter from the tire company re issuing their original warning about bearing loading and making sure the axles could handle it.

Piper...since the 08's are North American wide now...isn't the 3500 now at least 48" between the wells now?
A cvor is $250/yr??? Never paid for mine! Website says it's $5 for a replacement if I lose this one. But Quebec does let you run through on a cvor now (supposedly).
4500kg seems to be the weight for all provinces for scaling. This why many of the rentals have 4500kg weight limit on some of their cubes. Limits weight carried but keeps renters out of scales and the hassles involved (can you imagine some yah-hoo renter arguing with the scale boys about being overweight).

Here's the link to MTO Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration (CVOR): What's New Looks like 250.00 to get it then 50.00 a year to renew after first 2 years. This is for trucks above 4500kg of course. I did not see 5.00 anywhere listed on this official site. You might have a non-expiring one you may want to check the link out cause they have changed the rule making all CVOR's have a expire date.
From the site: Operators will be sent a notice of expiry 60 days prior to expiry (90 days during the transition period). A carrier that does not renew prior to the expiry date is liable to a fine and possibly to imprisonment, OH MY IMPRISONMENT
Renewal of your CVOR Certificate
Starting December 1, 2008 all CVOR certificates will be assigned an expiry date. For Issuance of ORIGINAL CVOR Certificates - $250.00
REMEMBER THIS IS FOR TRUCKS OVER 4500KG "9920 LBS" GVW, EVERYONE IN A VAN WILL NOT NEED THIS BUT THOSE IN A CUBE VAN OR LARGER WILL NEED IT
