I haven't actually done any research on this because I'm not in the market for a new truck but I've been told the only difference between a 2500 HD and 3500 HD both SRW is the springs. Everything else is the same comparing apples to apples

I can tell you with absolute certainty that there is a huge difference going from a single rear wheel truck to a dually.
The difference is night and day in stability.
With that being said I have a friend who tows a momentum toy hauler with a 2500 Chevy truck I believe it's a 19.
His payload sticker is slightly under 2K. He called me the weight police and that was the end of it. Lol.
To me it's all good as long as there's not any problems like an accident. If somebody wiped out in front of me because they're rig was severely overloaded I'm sure there would be plenty of money-hungry lawyers to take that case. Should be pretty damn easy to prove if the dry weight of the camper alone is more than the cargo carrying capacity of the truck

Correct & possibly tires.
