F250 Vs F350 Crew Cab

My current angst is f250 vs f350. Our current 5ver has a pin weight of 1840 which pushes me up against the 10k gross weight, And the cargo weight of approximately 2100. The axle load on the 5ver is normally around 8K. We have towed this way for well over 100k and over the last 10 plus years. The safety issues are not in question, as I have been in some very threatening situations and had my equipment perform admirably. My concern is the legal aspect of being so close, or barely above the legal limit. Were not opposed to dropping another 1k for the upgrade but on looking at the trucks, was appalled at the increased heights. My wife and I are both under 5.5 and it's going to be a challenge with just the F250. Were not sure about the difference in the ride also.
Thanks

Nothing unsafe about using the F250, but the minimal price difference makes choosing the F350 a no-brainer. Per Ford's specs on their website the 250 is actually a tenth of an inch taller. I doubt there is any difference in ride either, because mechanically there is almost no difference between the two. If you're concerned about getting in and out, order side steps. These trucks are so tall I don't understand why they aren't standard equipment.
