Very incorrect.The simple answer is that yes, you can increase the effective payload (not the sticker number but the real payload). The PW is a 2500, and the only significant physical limiting factor is the springs.
The only limiting factor is the GVW Rating on the door sticker. You cannot legally change that rating. The limiting components are not just the springs, almost every other suspension related component is designed for the rated payload and articulation capabilities too.
Conversly, simply putting PW springs into a standard W2500 will not give the W2500 the articulation and off road capabilities of a PW either.
