#1. You will be OVER GVWR as I stated before, unless that F250 is a stripper model and very, very light ready to tow you will exceed your GVWR by as much as 1,800 to 2,000#.
#2. The 6,084 rear axle, yes currently limited by the stock 245/75-16E tires (3,042# ea.), you can get a little extra capacity by going to a 265/75-16E (3,415# ea.). Personally that is what came stock on my TV with Camper Package, I like the extra safety margin of the extra 746# of tire capacity over the axle rating.
#3. Four speed auto, you will be looking at a rebuild, you are going to be working it real hard with the extra HP from the Banks Kit.
I tow over GVWR, but within all other ratings, I don't recommend to others, I had been towing a smaller 5er with my TV, I knew how it tow that and what to expect.
Do yourself a favor, go get your TV weighed. Load it as you would to go camping, then report that number back.
