Perfect!
As long as you're still prepared for a flat tire potentially you have a good combo on the truck and trailer. Note, it's real easy to jack up a tandem axle trailer by having some blocks to drive or back the good tire onto, raising the trailer, to change a tire. No jack needed.
Regarding loading the trailer. I'd suggest, get whatever suspension enhancements you plan on installed and then keep the trailer hooked to the truck while loading.
Take a "pre loaded" bumper height or wheel well height on the truck. Then use that as a guage to see how much tongue weight youre putting in hte trailer by the amount of sag.
Nothing worse than getting a trailer all loaded up with 1000 different items and then find out that you're way over on tongue weight!
