Is there a safe way to increase the payload capacity of the truck, like adding bigger springs or anything?
I would add to MFL reply about tires/suspension upgrades....wheels also will need upgrading
Some truck camper owners with 3/4 ton and one ton single rear wheel trucks go with 19.5" tires and wheels carrying those heavy 4k-5k truck campers. 19.5" wheels are expensive but have in excess of 4k lb + capacity.
Separate truck axle (frt/rear) CAT scale weights will tell you what your trucks suspension needs will be....along with the trailers GVWR numbers.
If the trailers number you posted is its GVWR then your good to go.
