With your gearing the tow capacity is closer to 10K# - gearing makes a big difference.
Honestly I think that's an awful lot of trailer for your 3/4 ton.
Also the loaded pin weight is going to be well in excess of your max load carrying capacity which is around 2K#. Then there's the weight of anything you carry in the bed and passengers.
I'm sorry but I think you need more truck or less trailer.
