For the F250, it doesn't matter what wheel package you have, the axle rating on the door post is 6200lbs. I have 18" tires @ 3500lbs each. My axle rating is 6200lbs.
If the OP has 18" tires and the camper package, he has an F350 structurally.
Why does the F250/350 topic always gets argued about!!!

It get's argued about because Ford de-rates the 250's on paper and most thinking people would take Ford at their word and assume the ratings are correct. I did too until it was explained to me and I did my own research on Ford parts sites to verify...
The reason I questioned the tire capacity is that the OP stated a 6,100# Rear axle capacity, I figured it would be at least 6,200# or higher with 18" tires. My 01 Ram is 6,084, limited only by the stock 245/75-16 E's.
