The 3500 SRW and 2500 are very similar trucks. The payload rating is limited on account of the 6000 lb rear axle rating that the 2500 gets vs the 7000 lb rating of the 3500. The axle rating is reduced on account of the spring rating. Put a set of air bags on your 2500 and it will handle your Grand Design better than the 3500 SRW with higher payload numbers.
Just don't drive on RV.net... the weight police here will arrest you for being over the number on a magic sticker that didn't exist in vehicles 25 years ago but now is gospel!!!
But anywhere else you'll be fine as long as you register your 2500 to 11,000 lbs instead of 10,000 lbs.
