Those numbers look fine to me, maybe even a little conservative, except maybe your hitch pin weight. That one should be easy to figure out, though, from manufacturer specs.
I don't know anything about your truck, so I can't speak to your truck weight, though. You can take it to a Cat scale at a local truck stop to find out.
Here is the weigh ticket from mine, just after the axle removal. This was with very little fuel in the tanks.

However, the moral of the story is don't go shorter than you need to. For me, singling mid was shorter than I wanted, but due to my neighborhood being very tight, that was the best decision. I still wish I could have singled long, but I would have still made the same decision.
They say, once you go short, you can never go back.
