This is the grey area for me when it comes to the suspension, wheel and tire upgrades one makes to their rig for a camper. Does it not also upgrade the payload/Gross vehicle weight rating?
If it was me I would look for another rv dealer that knew something about trucks and actual load carrying weight issues.
Upgrading to a higher capacity wheel/tire and rear suspension will allow the truck to carry more weight safely but won't change any thing on a sticker.
I'm looking at new 2500 4x4 crew cab 2015/'16 Ram truck 6.7 Cummins 10k GVWR and a 6500 RAWR as we speak.
The 2500 Ram(s) I'm looking at has a 6500 RAWR which leaves around a 3500 lb RAWR payload as delivered. Of course that number changes as the owner adds necessary junk :) to the truck especially over the rear axle...... and actual scaled axle weights.
