So, what I'm understanding is that because it is called an F250, the most GVWR that will be on the sticker is 10000 lbs,, even if it had a greater capacity than that, right?
And also, since this truck has the same engine, transmission, tires, transmission, ect as an F350 (I'm assuming) the whole issue is about payload. If this is true, would adding some type of auxiliary springs or airbags take care of the problem.

You may not need any of that. With our Ram I am well over the GVWR, but still under axle ratings (stock). I also have a camper package which included 3500 springs, rear axle sway bar, and larger tires with 331# ea. more capacity. Seeing how the stock axle rating is the sum of the two tires, I could assume I have a 662# more in rear axle capacity, but I don't! The stock capacity is 6,084# and that is all I need to carry our 32' 5er at 11,000#+!
