A 4k payload will have to go on both axles as its a GVWR based payload.
The 3500 SRW Ram has a 7000 rawr. These trucks are heavy and rear axle may weigh 3400-3500 lbs which leaves around 3500-3600 lbs in the bed.
This means a upgrade in wheels or tires or rear suspension as they all need to meet or exceed the load you place in the bed from a TC.
Measurements are so close and you have the TC I would drop by a Ram dealer and take some actual measurements.
Someone may have the same combo so stay tuned.
Jim, you’re full of _____, basically.
If the truck has a 4K payload rating, that is the absolute minimum amount of weight it would take to get to the weakeast link. (Rims or tires)
OP, you were right, you’ll get the chicken little responses and the response from those who know better.....
All I’ll say is 07 Mega Cab 2500. Arctic Fox 860. Considerably heavier than your camper. Many years and miles of hauling it. Let er rip tater chip!
Seriously, not an issue in the slightest with that camper and truck. Hell, you might not even need to add any suspension to the truck.
