If I recall correctly my '15 Chevy 2500 had around 3500lbs on the rear axle from the factory.
3500+2000=5500, so even if you load it down quite heavily, you should be okay. But check the scales to be sure.
I've never been to a commercial scale so I'm not sure how I would do this?
Just pull to the front of the scale so that the front tires are off, but the back are still on?
And then for tongue weight, just weight the truck and then weigh again with the trailer attached behind the scale and subtract the truck weight to find the difference?
Most CAT scales have three pads. Park on the scale so your front tires are on the front, rear tires on the middle, and trailer tires on the rear. It'll give you three weights - steer, drive, and trailer. Then yeah, just disconect the trailer and swing back around for your reweigh.
Or you can build your own corner scale for a few hundred dollars. I posted a guide for one on here - the thread was titled "Homemade Tire Scale".
