The 3150 lb tires will not cut it hauling an Arctic Fox. He needs to go with higher rated rims and tires regardless whether he tows. A set of 19.5's like mine for four rims and tires runs $2000. I wouldn't bother spending $1500 on an 18" upgrade, but you may find take-offs for around $600.
actually GAWR is based on the lowest capacity component, in this case its tires and rims. he has a 9750lb 35-spline 10.5 Sterling rear axle.

he is going to be at 6800 to 7200 pounds with the camper loaded on tires that are combined load rated at 6300. The Rear Axle is capable of over 9000. The tires aren't rated for the load he is asking them to carry.
We aren't telling him what to do just posting what is reality as far as loads
Now add in wanting to pull a trailer and its additional tongue weight: those tires and wheels "will not cut it".
His axle is not rated for 9000 lbs... He stated what it says here. I assume its from his door sticker...2008 XL F250 Supercrew 4x4 shortbox Diesel 6.4 158 WB with Camper package 10k GVWR, Front axle GAWR 6000 Rear GAWR 6100. Load range E tires 3150 Max at 80 PSI
anyway 3150 x 4= 12600 lbs ( I was just talking about his rear axle above. This is where most weight will be...and the important # here IMO)
6000 + 6100 axles = 13000 lbs compared to his 12600 tire rating its as close as you can get...
Again once he gets both axle weights from the scale we will know his payload and what he can haul as TC weight, or tongue weight for a TT or 5th wheel......

Why not?
They are above his axle weights. He cant go over his axles.
Your not suggesting the OP overload the truck right?

Your tires are fine.... You must weigh the truck...
You cant go over your axle rating. Once you weigh you will know what your exact payload will be,,,6100 rear axle OK..
3150 tires at 80 psi..= 6300 lbs.. ok ( Thats above rear axle rate)
Go to a cat scale and get the truck weighed. Try to fill the gas tank and load what you may take with you camping.
Get the two seperate axle weight and post back here. That will tell you pretty much what your payload is and what you can haul..
If you dont do this then your only guessing, as well as the yes and no's your getting here...
