If you are just sitting on the overloads with over 6000 lbs on the rear axle and a pin weight of 2160 lbs there is something wrong.
Either the weights as given are way way off or the overloads were not installed correctly.
How much does the truck squat when the trailer is on?
I have found the most common reason for chucking is low pin weight percentage.
These weights are from a CAT scale the truck drops about 1" to 1 1/2" I believe I have not measured it. The pin weight is 22.4% and the pin weight is 2360
From the CAT scale numbers you gave I get a pin weight of 2160 lbs which calculates to about 21% pin weight. Even at that the trailer should tow good and not chuck.
