Hi Bob, I would be interesting seeing your actual weights. The 2x logic is fine, but what is on the plate in the door jam is what the courts look at.
If you go to page 54 of the linked PDF, the load rating of a F250 CC 8'box PSD truck is 1,795lbs. Figure 2 adults, fuel, hitch and you are down to a payload capacity of 1,000lbs.

Your 3100 pin, loaded for camping will be close to 3,000lbs. Yea you can put larger tires on it, add air bags, etc. that does not change the rating of the truck.
