2004 GMC 2500 HD Diesel
The 5th wheel is a 2006 Legends 30RE2SLF-5 ( Overall length 33.5)

The truck

Front axle: 2030/4470 ( kg/lbs)
Rear axle: 1490/3280 (kg/lbs)

The Truck + Trailer

Front axle: 2030/4470
Rear axle: 2570/5660

So by adding Front + Rear it give me 4600/10'130 (kg/lbs)

I exceed the GVWR of the truck wich is a small 9'200lbs

How bad do you think it is ?

Ah yes the trailer axle is 4010/8832 (kg/lbs)

All other numbers are in the range of the tires, axle, the overall weight is in the range
