IMHO, yes. But just to be clear, what I'm saying is you're not going to break anything because you're overweight. Things like sway could still be an issue.
Brakes.
For most of us, the door sticker is the tire weight rating as the vehicle left the factory. Upgrade tires and the vehicle can carry more, up to the next weakest link in the chain. The important part is to not exceed the rating of the weakest link in the chain, be it tire, wheel, axle... But also remember that just because the truck won't break due to the load, doesn't mean you'll want to drive it, or be able to stop it.
