It sounds to me like you're in the safe zone.  If you load the TT to the max (7,740#), and have 15% hitch weight, you'll be at 1,161#.  That leaves the remaining payload for the Chevy at 644#.  As long as you are careful to not put more than 644# in the truck (passengers, cargo, etc), you should be okay.
Of course, you may likely not hit the GVWR on the TT, and you're hitch weight may be less than 15%, so you likely have some buffer.
