After all the discussion this is where you are at. Subtract the weight of all cargo and occupants from your payload sticker number and this is what is left for tongue weight. Tongue weight will be between 10 and 15% of actual trailer weight and some of use 13% as the standard. If you subtract 775 from 1561 you are left with 786# for tongue weight. That would limit you to about 6k TOTAL trailer weight (6000x.13=780). Payload is usually a killer on 1/2 ton series trucks.
