There is one way to know if you are good on the weights and that is to weigh them. Short of that I would estimate you will be overweight with this combination. My rig is similar to what you are considering. The RAM is a mega cab which has a higher gvwr than the other cabs and I’m over by 70 lbs. Gawr will also be near or over weight as well. One must use the door jamb sticker numbers to calculate gvwr and not use advertised capacity. It gets a bit more involved than what I’m posting. Keep up your research, it’s a learning process. Going by feel, the dually would be the right tool for the job.
