That axle will hold 10k, your not over axle capacity but as you have alluded, your over the wheels/tires for sure. There is no real place to find posted wheel capacities, however most if not all have the limits stamped/cast into the wheel.
Just for example, I carry 8200+ lbs on my rear axle when towing with my setup. The axle is rated for almost 11k from the manufacturer and my needs were addressed according, suspension got some help, had to go to 19.5's but I got some of the most aggressive ones I could. I also go offroad but know my trucks ablitites and limits. If I'm that heavy loaded, I just don't go where I'd need to air down. You really can't have both ways unless you go for a lighter TC or deal with the weight and limit your offroad to logging roads and the such.
I'd also be wary of that truck if it doesn't have 4.30 gears and you plan to tow and hit mountians, it will be slow!!!
That truck is the same as a F350, add some better tires/wheels and you'll be good. I would evaluate your wants and then consider weight adds up QUICK...don't shell out a bunch of cash and then find after you add the trailer and other stuff your over tire weight again...my tires will hold more than my wheels, those are my limiting factor at 9k lbs...
Donlt rush, this may not be the deal you seek or it might, go in with both eyes open and know....if your not comfortable going over the GVWR and want squishy offroad capabilites, you won't ever be happy with that setup.
