You're using the wrong number. With a FW all the pin wt goes on the rear axle. You have lots more available pin, likely 2500-2800 lbs, and still under axle rating. That payload is just the weight of your truck subtracted from a class 2 GVWR.

I agree the truck can handle another 1,400lbs per the axle/tire ratings, but Iโm not aware of any other โnumbers to useโ other than payload as its the most restrictive. Payload is what is calculated as any weight added to your truck, regardless of where on the truck its added. Being in Colorado with some serious grades and the fact that Iโm double towing, I donโt play around with capacities....seen too many out of control trucks from people not respecting them.
Regular size 5Wโs with the layout we wanted were too long for me to double tow, so I had to go to with the 1/2ton model to keep my overall length under 65โ for the Stateโs Iโll be towing through. Regardless, Iโm asking about chucking improvement here as I already have the truck and trailer

Iโve come to the point where Iโve concluded there isnโt a silver bullet to resolve the issue

A third thing is concerning the factory overload engagement. IS it staying fully engaged or fully disengaged? If spring is bouncing off overloads -the ride suffers greatly
Good luck!

Maybe your pin weight is too light.
Funny story - a 3/4ton duramax only has 2,150lb payload - so 1,700lb pin weigh is right where I want it before I add my family and other stuff to the truck.
