Received my 2022 F350 yesterday (yea!) but was surprised with 6800lb rear axle capacity. Digging further I believe this was because I accepted the standard LT275/65r18 tires which have load rating of...

Apologies for the piggyback question but this seems a good place to ask. If I adhere to the payload door sticker (Combined weight of...should never exceed) do I need to be concerned about any specific axle or tire capacity? In other words, if I don't exceed the payload can I assume the rear axle and tires have enough capacity for the load? Just a general question, no specifics in mind. Thanks.
Hard question to answer with out knowing your payload, depending on what is carried in the TV, there are likely some combinations that it might be possible.
Huh? That is probably the most succinct, easy to answer correctly, question that has been asked on here in some time! LOL
The answer is no you don't need to worry 1 bit, about any component, based on the mfgs rated payload. Seeing as it is always the lowest common denominator of components' capacities, often combined with regulatory limitations that further lower the "rating" artificially, the only way one could be more conservative is to place their own personal unfounded factor of safety ON TOP of the mfgs rating.
This is so clear cut that I can't even think of an obtuse response considering some obscure condition that someone on this forum generally brings up anytime someone uses words like "always", "neve", "certian", etc.
