(all listed to give you an idea of options weight)
cat scales with full 26 gal tank, me. the wife, and the dog:
steer 5040
drive 3660
total 8700 - a fat one :)
will be adding a rear sway bar today so that should be a bit more...
so that leaves me 11500 - 8700 = 2800 carrying capacity..

Now I need to weigh truck and rv together to see if it is > the 23500 gcwr...

You probably won't even add 100# to your front axle loaded. With 4,500# pin weight of that only 100# goes to my front axle. I have my B&W hitch full forward.
Why do you need sway bars? Are you going to haul a slide in camper?
