Looks good to me!

Those scale weights would even be within my old '16's steel body ratings

How's it tow the trailer?

She did pretty well, I don't think I will be disappointed. The only thing I will miss is the ease of fueling up at the diesel truck islands.

She is probably 12-13ft tall.

Front axle 3,960/4,800 = 82.5% of rated capacity.
Rear axle 5,220/6,340 = 82.3% of rated capacity.
GVW (just tow vehicle) 9,180/10,000 GVWR = 91.8% of rated capacity.

Sure looks oks like a winning combination. With the 4M (4.30) rear axle, should pull that 8,240 lbs trailer axle weight, without issue or stressing anything.
