Your rear axle weight goes up 1900 with it at tow weight?
You’ll be fine. You should have over 3000 extra rear axle capacity in a 17+ F250.
A moderately optioned Lariat 4x4 CCSB 6.7 will have a 2200-2400 payload. I dont look at that as close as axle weights in my personal experience

Bigger, better, higher weight rated tires. Timbren, Sumos or air bags and you’ll be good to go. I did the tire upgrade and first timbren then airbags in my F250. 5000+ miles towing my 5th wheel below. No problems.
The internet weight police on FTE weren’t happy.

simply put, check your truck without trailer but with as much as you can have on it when you tow.
Get your steer and drive axle weights, check the sticker for the difference. Then check the tires and don't exceed those.
Whichever is the lowest number is the one to follow.
Register the truck at the approximate load you will be having on it.
Figure 20% for pin weight that will become payload.

Worried about fuel mileage with 4.30's? Below is empty over summer. Towing a 11K 5er is 8 to 9 MPG. Worst ever was 6.7 climbing and into a 20 mph wind.

I would not be worried at all with those numbers, I avg only about 12-13 empty with my 3.73s and got about 7 towing our camper this weekend.
