You will always be heavier than the numbers online and on stickers. You also have a very capable truck. Don't get too hung up on numbers until you hit a scale. I hit the scale then knew I needed 19.5's. So I bought them. Now I don't worry about weight, I know I'm good and it is a piece of mind knowing this.
A slide will add a significant amount of weight. Your on the right path of progressive mods to handle that. Don't overthink it but also...if you never owned a TC, try to find someone give a ride or better yet...let you drive one a bit so you can feel what it is like. Some people think it should drive like a empty truck and go all overboard with mods and or a new truck chasing that feeling. It really is a comfort thing.
FYI....my non-slide out 8.5 foot TC was 4k pounds loaded this weekend. It is 2300 lbs on the factory sticker...again, don't get hung up on the numbers and don't put a Host Mamoth with 3 slides on your truck and you'll be good.
I have three boys, we love the flexibility of a TC.
