The payload number on door, 1,792 is just the weight of your truck, as it left the factory, subtracted from 10,000 registration wt. That means your truck weighed 8,208 as a finished truck as shipped.
You need to weigh your truck, ready to tow, full fuel, passengers, and gear. Weigh axles separately, to determine how much is left to add to rear axle. For example rear axle weighs 3,350, and your RAWR is 6,350. You can add 3K to rear axle, such as pin wt of a FW or gooseneck trailer.
