Towing questions
Hello all, have a few questions for everyone. I've got a 2007 Chevy 2500 with the Duramax I bought new. It has 47k miles on it. I have been hauling a 2014 Open Range 308 bhs with 915 empty hit...

As others have pointed out, your rear axle itself is safe. 3/4 ton trucks share the safe axle as a 3500, but under-rated to fit within class 2.
Just make sure your suspension remain level to ensure enough bump travel, and avoid getting pulled over (onto a roadside scale) due to visually appearing to be over-loaded.
Won't happen in the United States. In BC they apparently have laws limiting you to factory ratings that are enforced, but here in the US, RVs are functionally exempt from weight laws. You can look overloaded all you want, and they won't even pay attention to you unless you are committing a moving violation.
Above is true, but a little misleading. A leo can stop you, if you are visually/severely overloaded, and can cite you for operating a motor vehicle on the roadway in an unsafe manner, which is a violation.
The OPs setup is not likely to put him in this category.
