I would put your family and gear, hitch, everything ready to camp and hit a scale to compare to your GVW, which should be 9,900. My GVW is 9,200 on my 08 and with all our gear and family, I only have 1,600 pounds of payload. I had 2,300 pounds of rock in it a few months ago and I wouldn't want to pull a camper with that heavy of pin weight more than a few miles.
That high of a pin weight really needs a 1 ton at a minimum.
And if you are going with 35s, you are going to need to flip the axles on your fifth wheel too or it will ride nose high.
You think just from putting the 35's with no lift in the rear, I will need to flip the axles? And does anything you put in the trailer affect the payload? Just what you put in front of the axles would be my guess...
