I have been following a lot of the "can i tow this " threads. My trailer is about half of the tow rating of my truck so i think i should be fine there.

Unfortunately no. You will have to weigh combined unit and truck solo. If you take the bikes, leave them in the truck for that weight. The difference between truck and trailer and truck only will give you total trailer weight. If you take coupled truck axle weights minus truck only weight, that will give you trailer tongue weight.
Sounds like you are relatively certain about the bikes weight, so you subtract that and get empty truck curb weight. Remember how much fuel in the truck will play a part, ie. full vs bone dry.
Hope this answered your question a bit better.
