Any chance you can trade in for a higher payload truck? I know you will take it in the pocket book but the benefits will far out weigh (no pun intended) the money spent.
As some of the posts above me say....you are out of payload unless you go with a very small TT, under 5000lbs fully loaded (6000 lbs is pushing it).
Here is the quick math..
Assuming 13% of 5000lbs fully loaded your 13% hitch weight will be 650 lbs...
Same assumption for 60000lbs...= 780 lbs.
All this assuming 13% and no more...etc. An 8,000lb TT will yield 800 to 1200 lbs taking up your payload.
Something to think about.
