Truck capacity

Ok I want to match a Truck Camper to my 2013 F250 6.7 diesel with 8' bed. There is a sticker on the door that states tire specs and max payload of 2365#s.
Am I to assume that is the max load for the factory supplied tires or for what ever tires are on it? The GVW is 10K for the truck. The axles are front 5900 and rear 6100#. I also want to tow a 28' cargo trailer behind that could weigh up 9100#. Please advise.

    Only 16 minutes before someone told you to get a dually, a record?

    We frequently argue/debate the meaning of the door decal. Personally, I read it to be for the factory supplied tires.

    The photo of the decal below is very clear to me. For the front axle, note the decal clearly states:

    FRONT GAWR:
    4500 pounds WITH
    LT245/75R/17E 121/11BR TIRES
    177X5J RIMS
    AT 380 kPa/55 PSI COLD


    The key word is "WITH". To me, that clearly states the GAWR with that tire size. My Dodge decal uses the same verbiage.

    A Lance 815 or similiar would work well.
    8' so no overhang and around 2k lbs loaded. This would allow passengers, cargo and likely 800 lbs or so of trailer toungue weight.
