Considering you have an over sized fuel tank and a TC with a large rear overhang, you should definitely get an actual rear axle weight measurement when you are loaded up with water and fuel. I think you will be surprised how much weight you are carrying. You will have a hard time finding any OEM rim rated at or over 3750 lbs and most are between 3000 and 3500 lbs.
Even with just my camper, I can approach 7000 lbs on the rear axle. I can load heavier items to the front help distribute weight, but now I can load items where they are accessible instead of playing load master to keep my weights balanced. I was even able to stay under OEM tire weight ratings while towing but loading was a precise exercise that still brought me very close to the limits.
