I would assume his rear axle rating is in the neighborhood of 6500 lbs, and his tires should be above that.

Thank You
Case in point:
MY 2007 3500 SRW
GVWR 10100#
Scaled weight 7980#
Pin wet...22.5% 2980# on rear w/150# on front (3130# total pin)
I tow a 14K (13,873# scaled) 5th wheel
Over on GVWR
At RAWR
Under Rear Tire Max Load Rating
Stable, comfortable tow.
That 2015 2500 can also tow 14K
