You may need to upgrade your gearing. If you are running a large tire with the factory 3:73, that is why it’s stalling high. Not the weight. It is actually stalling right below your peak torque which is good but you need to gear it to compensate and the stall will drop for you.
They probably were recommending it for racing if you didn't mention it, can't say for sure. Ideally if the cam is a lower rpm cam like yours they will recommend about 500-1000 rpm higher converter for good power launches. Some stock converters or 1800 stalls don't quite give you the same power with a lower cam like that. Now you get up to a 3000-7500 cam then a 3000 or 3200 converter would be good. The heads play a role on where a cam actually starts to make power. Stock heads and a mild can like that usually work fine but sometimes have issues. A big cam for more rpm on stock heads would have issues

Think you're the only guy talking about torque converters for off-road or over landing
