From an engineering standpoint, yes, suspension is probably the only limiting factor. However, from a practical standpoint, they don't weigh just the unsprung weight for GVWR so even if you add 150lbs in tires and wheels, it's still going to count against your payload rating.I disagree. The fact that there are various suspension options that change the payload on various vehicles tells us that this is an important factor. Unsprung weight wouldn't affect suspension. Although, you can't really change the unsprung weight by a huge amount without replacing things like axles, and now the entire capacity rating is out the window anyway.
