2016 Ram short bed 6.7 diesel 2500 payload close to max

I have the above tow vehicle and am lookong to trade up to a Grand Design with a pin weight of 2100 out of 2400 of trucks rated payload. Is this enough of a margin for added personal effects in traile...

Ok, so the OP has a short box diesel and the door jamb sticker says 2021 is its rated carrying capacity.

I have a 2015 Ram long box diesel 3500 and my sticker says 4292, for a difference of 2271 lbs. So you're saying that just adding air bags to a 2500 with DOUBLE its payload and make it the same as a 3500?

In terms of capability, yes.
In terms of legality, yes, but you would need to pay for a heavier registration weight and its PERFECTLY LEGAL.
