as a fellow 250/2500 Diesel owner, I encourage you to run the payload numbers. You might be surprised how little cargo capacity you have.

At the risk of sounding like one of a dozen broken record on here, your payload is primarily limited by the class rating of the truck and corresponding gvw limit, which is far below the actual or design capability of the rig.
