Forget about the "tow capacity" and be more concerned with payload capacity as you will run out of that well before nearing the tow rating. For example, a 9700lbs tow rating is completely useless when the truck only has 1200lbs of payload. A 9k tt will have in excess of 1k tongue weight. Add in a 200lbs driver and you're already overweight.
Rams have the lowest payloads of all the 1/2 ton trucks. Some loaded crew cabs are under 1000lbs. Depending on your payload and what you carry in the truck people and gear wise, you may be overloaded with your current setup.
