Payload is a lot different than Rear Axle Weight Rating--I believe the newer 450s have a 9k rating on the rear axle. Earlier ('08-'10) had 9500lbs rating.
A 5880 payload will be lessened by the hitch, fuel, passengers and luggage--for instance, my '09 weighs about 10400 (14500 GVWR) ready for long trips, but I have a 60 gal aux tank. I am very close to the axle rating.
MOST Suites will fall between 4-4600lbs for pin weight--I think 25% is exaggerating the amount on the pin for most fivers. The triples are usually balanced with less pin weight than duals are, especially when the 'toys' are in the garage.
All the 450 pickups are great for gross tow ratings, but you still have to be careful of the rear axle rating.
The 15s are going to be back to 19.5" wheels/tires and most likely all the ratings will go up, also.
