I figured out there is one thing I can do after all, but I don't know if it would be worth the bother. Move the spare tire from the back bumper to the front.
Using the leverage weight calculator for a snow plow from my Chev truck manual, and assuming the spare weighs 75 lbs (it is very heavy--I had to take one off to get a leak fixed--was the valve core--had a struggle lifting it up into the truck's box ) I get:
75 x (140 + 176)/176 = 135 lbs on the rear axle from that 75 lb spare.
140" is the distance of the spare back from the axle and 176" is the wheel base.
I am over RGAWR by 182 lbs according to the scales. What I don't know is the exact weight of that spare and whether this amount over RGAWR is trivial or is serious enough to warrant moving the spare to the front.

"In this case, Front 1630/3586 and Rear 3570/7854 so the total of those is 5,200/11,440 GVWR is 4,989/11,000"
This is totally confusing me. Are you saying the weight on one front tire is 1630 and the other one is 3586?
