I tow a 23RLSW and I weighed it on my last trip at a truck scale with the trailer hooked up with the WDH, cargo, full fuel, and 2 passengers.
Front axle -- 2940 lbs.
Rear axle -- 3640 lbs.
Trailer axles -- 5520 lbs.
Close to the limit of 3700 lbs on the rear axle, but still 220 lbs under the GVWR.
Just some numbers for consumption.

Sounds like we will have a pretty similar setup. To recap, I have a 2015 limited 4x4 EcoDiesel with the towing, moonroof and 20" tire packages. My unloaded weights with a full tank of diesel and no driver are:
Front: 2820
Rear: 2620
Gross: 5440
I am a little bit lighter than you because I don't have the off road package with skid plates. We have a 23BHM on order right now. It looks like our trailer weights and length are pretty darn close per the 2017 jay feather.
I'm a bit anxious about being close on payload. I wish the dealers were more forthcoming about the requirement to check your tow vehicle's payload! I've been reading about how far behind jayco is in delivery of new trailers right now so unfortunately I'll have to wait even longer before I can calm my nerves by seeing the my real world weights after hooking it up. At least your similar setup gives me some confidence!
What are you using for a hitch? I am thinking about a 1000# Equalizer.
