I bought my 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 new for the purpose of hauling around a truck camper. The weight numbers are the same as your rig and my truck camper weighs about 3,200 lbs fully loaded. The last time I weighed at the scales, the total was 11,480 lbs. I have air-lift air bags and torklift upper stableloads but the shocks and brakes are original. The tires are Firestone TransForce A/T on the stock rims. The biggest issue I had was the side to side rocking and sway. I removed the stock anti sway bar and I installed a roadmaster anti-sway bar. This was the most noticeable change to the handling. It's great with the load but a little harsh with no load. I use the air bags to raise the rear and bring the headlights down so that I don't have to re-align them. I have no problem with the weight but I wouldn't want to go much heavier unless I had a dually.
