I see you playing with a lot of numbers, but what is the weight of your trailer loaded?? If you are starting with a dry weight of 8K, you are going to be 9K or more loaded.
Take your Armada's max tow rating and subtract passengers and cargo in vehicle and you are over your max. It's only my personal opinion, but with most vehicles, the ideal towing weight should be at least 10% less than the max.
I strongly urge you to reconsider what you are doing. I'm afraid you are flirting with the devil. The trailer is too long and heavy for your vehicle.
