the scales are your friend
weigh your front and rear axles on a cat scale

once you know your actual rear axle weight , that will tell you how much tongue weight you can use for your trailer .
for the best handling figure 13% tongue weight to get your trailer max weight .
for example if your rear axle truck weight is actually 2500 # and the gvw sticker of your pickup says max rear gvw is 3500# then you have 1000 # to work with.
