When I was analyzing my TC/ truck I NEVER exceed either of those numbers.
I was over my GVWR by about 1,400# and 75# over any known wheel weight rating (for steel factory rims) but never over tire load index. This was for a fully loaded camper with full water,LP, food, provisions and about 500# of other stuff in the truck (not part of normal camper compliment.) It was the most that I would ever carry and with minor suspension mods, the combo handled great.

Should I weigh with full tank of diesel and the tailgate removed?
Yes! And also add items that would be typical in/on the truck that is not part of the TC compliment such as passenger(s) etc...
