You need to check the truck axles front/back by themselfs both with the trailer attached and without. The rims will likely have wt. listed on them inside of rim (seen without tire) or out on the side somewhere. The tire dealer might even be able to look up the wheel by the maker,size etc. at get the information you need. Checking the side to side axle wt. is good to know but, likely not enough to change psi in tires unless it pulls or leans towards the heavy side. Maybe more helpful in loading stuff, lighter things on the heavy side. Lastly checking the axles one at a time will show if you have added or removed wt. from the front when hooked up to the trailer. Myself I found I added 1200lbs to the rear and removed 300lbs from the front so the hitch wt. was 900lbs not 1200lbs.
