Swear my last question not. TT weight
Ok I'm looking at Jayco jay flight 32' fully load its 9000lbs. My truck can tow up to 8500lbs. I know I'll never fully load it. Would you buy it or stay clear of it?

Tow rating does not always equate to a travel trailer either...
It also does not always equate to an enjoyable tow...
Sure, it might be able to tow that much by the numbers... But, in reality, it's not gonna be enjoyable.
My truck has a "tow rating" over #11,000... I'm towing a #5000 GVWR TT with it, but if I ever decide to get a bigger one, I'll stick to around #7500 GVWR..
Unlike Terryallen, I DO load my trailer to it's max, so I know that going in.. Like I'm going to tell my wife, "you have all this storage space, but you can't use it..".. Yeah, that's going to go over well, ha, ha! :)
Plus, I tend to be the over packer on the truck side, so there you go right there..
Anyway, do what you feel you need to do... None of us is going to be towing your combo, nor buying it, so we really don't have anything to lose..
Good luck!
