Just to beat a dead horse...... a 1500HD is not a half ton it is a 3/4 ton from the 6.0 litre and semi floating axles to the springs and brakes.
To the OP.... Even though your truck is a 3/4 ton you still do not have lots of carrying capacity. If it were me I would run your truck over a scale and get a true weight then you can figure out how much pin weight your truck can handle. I think the tow rating was around 10,000lbs for your truck. Figure your pin weight will be AROUND 15% of total trailer weight.
