I am starting to come up to speed. The 04 Lance 1161 tips the scales at 3495lbs. The 06 dodge 3500 4x4, dually, long bed, crew cab, 5.9 Commings diesel with a 4 sp automatic has a load capacity of 4680lbs.
Thank you
PS, you’ll be well over the trucks milquetoast de-rated gvw, so like the other guy asked about, on paper you’ll be 1000lbs or so over.
if that bothers you then I suggest a camper trailer, not a bigger truck.

You'll be up to speed when you no longer butcher CUMMINS. 🤣
Extra credit for butchering it in two unique ways, though. Just be aware that you will not be allowed to own a CUMMINS Dodge truck until you learn to spell and pronounce it correctly. The Ram boys will hunt you down and beat you savagely if you continue to include o's and g's.
The truck really has a load capacity closer to 6000lbs or more. Rear axle rating should be around 10,000lbs, and empty weight on the rear axle should not be any more than about 3500lbs.
What you're running up against is the GVWR, which is artificially low for DOT and tax purposes.
Thank you
