You have about 3500 lbs available on the RAWR. You will need to take away what your family weighs and the hitch weight before you can actually get available pin weight.
The actual axle is rated for 9750 lbs, but the wheels limit you to the 6730 lb rating. You can go to 19.5" wheels to get the full capacity of your axle, but then you bump up against the GVWR limit. People have different views about what is prudent verses what is legal which usually turns into an opinionated volley in the thread - I will let you decide how you wish to proceed.
BTW: I have seen the same rims optioned on trucks with a 7250 lb RAWR, so I would not exceed that rating even with better tires unless you can find a definitive rating on your actual rims. I used to run those with Michelin tires.
