That's actually a misunderstanding of the rule... the allowance is only for the actual weight of the chute & mechanism (not to exceed the limit), not a raising of the weight limit.
Of course, the chances of a ramp-check where weight is checked is so close to zero that for most of us it truly is zero, that "making weight" is something most of us have, at one time or the other, ignored completely.
