You need to deduct the weight that is on your truck, 18 to 20 percent for 5'rs--12,500 -2,250 (18%) is 10,250 LBS, so two axels at 5,200 each is 10,400. Looks good to me, that's at the min of 18% if you use 20% you are safe by a couple more hundred pounds. The WD bars of a TT just move some of the weight (approx. 10% total) to the front end of the TV, still removing 10% of the weight from the TT axels. I believe to many people have there trailer and/or TV overweight or have not weighed them and don't really know their weight numbers and are guessing they are not overweight. Sorry, my opinion only.
