IMO folks are missing the 8800 GVWR which is what the '03 2500 Hemi comes with so weights with the Cummins do not apply.
They did say Truck 2003 Dodge ram 2500 heavy duty 4x4. They also stated, GVWR 8800 - GAWR 5200 - front 6000 rear. I do know the 4x4 is heavier than a 2WD. I don't remember by how much.
This is the decal on my 1996:

I have a '03 2500 Dodge/Cummins NV5600 2wd Quad Cab 2wd with 4000 lbs on the front axle and 2860 lbs on the rear axle or 6860 lb unladen. The Hemi is much lighter and will have more payload.
IMO the 2500 Hemi may weigh close to 2500-2700 on the rear axle which leaves him around 3300-3500 lb for a payload. Thats a max rear axle/wheels/tires and springs. I would't go over that unless upgraded components are added.
