I have the same truck. I weighted my truck at 8100lbs. I pull a 12000lbs trailer. I am over weight on the drives by 300lbs. if you read the door sticker at 6200lbs. The diff in the 19000lbs GVW truck and the 22000lbs GVW truck is gear ratio. The axle housing and frame and tires are the same. As long as the tires are good quality and have a weight rating over the drive axle rating I am going to run it. It may not stand up in court, if I got in to a bad accident and hurt someone. I have pulled this trailer on 5 trips now and am very happy, but I never pull in 6th. and even a small hill will make me down shift to 4th.
