Went looking...getting a little closer

Just playing devils advocate here...but you are rolling the dice since you over the published weight rating of your truck, So you are choosing what number to ignore. I know very well that the limiting factors is the tires, but still doesn't change that number on the door jam. I will almost bet that every tire out there is really rated a lot higher than what is printed on the sidewall. The manufacturer is not going to make a tire that blows up when it is close to max. Look at Toyo/Nitto. There previous generation 285 tire was rated for 3750...the new generation is 3400. Nothing has drastically changed..its the lawyers/DOT that made them reduce. Not taking sides..just throwing out some facts.
