Trucks gross weight is the sum of the trucks loaded axles (4860 + 5460)=10320 lbs gross weight.
Assuming your F350 is a SRW your well under the F350 SRW 6830 RAWR.
However the '03 F350 SRW shows a 4400 or 4800 FAWR. With a 4860 lbs over the steer axles FAWR which includes springs/tires and wheels.
Your trucks drivers side door post has a GVWR/FAWR/RAWR vehicle placard.
You may want to do something with decreasing weight on the trucks front suspension or beefing it up a bit.
I wonder if that FAWR you found is for a 2003 f350 6.0. I dont know if they changed. If OP has a 4700 FAWR he is over unloaded. I have a 2002 f350 SRW 7.3 and my FAWR is 5200. My last trip across the scales was with my TT. My front axle weighed 4730. This was fully loaded for camping no tt hooked up. Very similar FAW to the OP.
