OP...if you got that payload figure from a guide you were looking at, that is not for your truck. There is a tire loading max payload sticker on your very own truck's door pillar, that reads max payload wt not to exceed xxxx. this is the one that if 2,000 lbs, means your truck weighed 8,000 lbs as it left the factory.
In any case, if you added spring support, your useable pin weight on rear axle will be your tire rating. On your truck they should be max rated about 3,490 x 2, so 6,980. Stay under that by several hundred lbs,and enjoy the tow.
