Going to a scale is one of the best things you can do. You'll get the truck's actual payload capacity, actual tongue weight, actual trailer weight as well as weight transferred onto the steer and trailer axles. Once armed with actual weights, you will be able to make informed decisions rather than guessing.
With a previous TT, I just could not get enough weight transferred to the steer axle no matter what I did. Wasn't until I went to a scale that I realized that the spring bars were undersized and I needed the next size up. I found that the actual TW was approaching double the factory dry number. When I picked up our current TT at the dealer the first thing I did before going home was to go to a scale.
If at a scale, also try and get side to side weights on the trailer if possible and compare that to the load capacity rating on the tires.
