Use the RAWR and you'll be fine. Make sure your tires are good for the load. I upgraded my tires on my 2500 from 245/70/17 rated 3000lbs each at 80psi to
275/65/18 rated at 3415lbs at 80 psi. It doesn't change the door sticker, but it sure provides a bigger cushion if I ever run with a heavier pin. You truck is a de-rated F350 for the most part. In fact you can even get an F350 with the 10,000 GVWR. I'm sure there's a part or two that aren't the same between the 250-350 but it's the same drive line. It's not about the payload because that's the de-rated part. The tow rating goes up with gear changes. That right there says the truck is capable of heavier loads.
JMHO but it is what it is. Go camping and have fun.
