Listen to what stickdog had to say. My big challenge is the capability of the rear truck tires.
RAM puts the same 18 or 20" tires and wheels on the 2500's and 3500 SRW trucks in the higher trim levels.

Two times 3640 is 7280 pounds capacity for the rear axle/tires. So the difference between that and actual unload rear axle is in the 3500-4000 pound range.
BTW, stickdog said "correct me if I am wrong", he was WRONG.
