double checking figuring "max" hitch weight for my TV

There was a discussion a couple of months ago regarding figuring "max" hitch weight.....I searched for the discussion but did not find. A 2002 Silverado 2500HD Long bed, Crew cab, 4x4 w/8.1 so you do...

I am referring to the weight from the 5th Wheel on the bed/hitch weight. EX: it is a 9000# 5th Wheel and has a hitch weight of 1800# if you use the 20% figure. I am trying to figure the maximum.
If a 5th Wheel has a hitch weight of 1700# I am fine but I am trying to figure the max hitch weight, say if the 5th Wheel has a hitch weight of 2300#.....And I know these are advertised weights, NOT scale weights.....I am just attempting to see where I becomes maxed out.
