GVWR corrected and yes, GTWR is correct. My 2012 4x4 Ram Laramie Longhorn w/6.7 Cummins HO (350HP/800T) has Load lifter 5000 bags w/30 psi when towing. Rides level, rear tires set for heavy load at 80 psi. Rear tires are as described above, **** it. Unfortunately I replaced 2 12v batteries with 4 6v batteries @76 lbs each. Seems I shouldn't have done that.
OK, let me get this straight. You're 1980 lbs on the pin and the 9030 lbs on the axles, for a total of 11,010 total on the trailer, as loaded; correct? That puts you over your rear axle spec by 230 lbs; correct? Were it me, and the tires were in spec, I wouldn't worry too much about it. You =could= move 2 batteries (or even all 4) further to the rear somewhere, and cut that 300+ lbs off the pin, for starters.

No the OP is 2,980# on the pin, 6,240 - 3,260 = 2,980# + 60# front 3,040#.
So the 5er weighs 2,980 + 9,520 = 12,500#
