The 2001 F450 flatbed I used to have - had rear axle rated at about 15k, so I could carry 10,000 lb forklifts on it.
With TC you have issue with sliding the weight to the front, but then even the heaviest campers are less than 5000 lb.
So I wonder how did you load it to exceed rear axle rating?
When changing the truck is 1 option, removing flatbed, or making it shorter might be another.
From what I know Dodge 4500 with the same configuration will have smaller payload than Ford.
