I searched for the max load limit for my 1/2 ton rear axle and with heavy rated tires and rims 3200lb each I am going to hover around that limit 4800lb.
When I researched this in 2010 I found the F 150 rear axles to be:
8.8" semi-float rear axle (F150)
weight = 167#
GAWR = 3800#
9.75" semi-float rear axle (F150)
weight = 229#
GAWR = 4500#
These are the actual weight ratings for the axles without the hindrance of springs, tires and wheels.
I wouldn't imagine you would have the 8.8 so your "hover" is pretty close.
