Towing Harley and trailer
I have a 2012 Silverado Duramax Diesel Crew Cab 4WD 2500 HD Pulling a 6700LB Dry weight Travel Trailer loaded to around maybe 8000LB Loaded. I have a 14000LB Equillizer distribution hitch, the biggest...

An 8000lb (loaded) trailer should be up around 1000lb hitch weight. An extension on the truck hitch isn't explicitly called out for most calculators but it does affect it negatively. (640lb would be too low)
Add in 1250 for the bike and ramps.
Add in say 300lb for passengers
That's around 2550lb if you put nothing else in the truck with the vast majority going on the rear axle. What's the payload available on the truck?
Since you own the truck and the bike, best bet would be to load up and go to a CAT scale and find out ground truth rather than go off best guestimate ratings.
Airbags can level the load but they don't add payload capacity.
