Hate to break it to you but suspension upgrades and heavier tires are not going to increase your legal payload, you are still stuck with the factory rating. Your only solutions are less toys or more truck.
The reduced payload on a drw 4x4 is because the truck is heavier and load capacity is reduced by a corresponding amount.
Hate to break it to you, but aside from the class 2 truck limits, limiting the stickered payload, that truck is nowhere close to being overloaded in any other way.
10klb rear axle, minimum 6400lb tires if they're lighter E range 17s, springs will take 2500lbs before they start sagging much (that's easily rectified).
Make sure the hitch is up to the task and worst case add something to the springs.
Your truck is made to do exactly what you're doing with it!
