This has has been a great discussion. I weighed my truck a few months ago and it came in at 12,400 excluding travelers, and with 3750 per tire, I should be good. the one thing I do not recall is axel weight, so I'll add that to my "to do" list for the weekend.
Your front axle weight will be be 4500-5000 lbs if you have a diesel. That means that your rear is 7500-8000 lbs which is over or very close to the maximum weight ratings of your rims and tires. If truck is gasoline powered, you are definitely over rear wheel capacity.
