Well I think your 4:10 helps with the tow part but not sure if it increases payload.
I am impressed with your pin weight for a 36 ft. 5er. I did not know a trailer that large could have a pin weight that low. Good for you and your 2500.
As for what stickers mean,well that came up in another thread. And essentially they are a guide (as I understood),but if things go south on the road and really bad things happen it was debated whether you could expect contact from the other parties attorney to check your VIN and weight and have your insurance company ignore your claim. But in such a case I imagine those "stickers" will have their say.
I went from a F250 gasser to a Ram 3500 SRW CTD Aisin Trans. and 5er tow package for a pin weight of 2085. And have had feedback that my payload may not be enough or real close, Just another guy on the road pushing limits I guess. At least I am well above the numbers on the gasser.
