Yes, the numbers look good.

But -- did you have the TT loaded as it normally would be loaded for camping?

If I have the correct information,
the indicated TT weight of 8960# is only 878# above the brochure "dry weight",
and is 2140# below the brochure GVWR of 11,000#.

If you plan to add much more weight to the TT, you might want to go to six chain links under tension.
