You played fast and loose with the payload calculations. You are over although not by much. You didn't include the weight of the hitch itself (100 lbs) or anything else you may have added to the vehicle and we all add stuff. Your kids are going to grow as well and the estimate of 60 lbs each seemed to be of the top of your head rather than any real information as well as the weight for yourself and your wife. Does the 1265 payload include a full fuel load? probably not. What is the rear axle rating? Your set up seems to be working for you and it's your vehicle and safety at stake. It kind of seems your trying to justify a marginal set up.
