dry = 5786
GVWR = 10059 (no chance, never gonna happen)
cargo capacity = 4273 (no chance, never gonna happen)
For estimating TW, for a WDH kit:
For a large trailer like this, add 1200 lbs over dry weight, to account for factory and dealer options, accessories, and all of your stuff. Let's call it 7,000 lbs, estimated loaded trailer.
12.5% average TW = 7000 * 0.125 = 875 lbs estimated loaded TW
I always recommend adding 100 lbs to this number, to stay away from the max WDH rating, to avoid bouncing/"porpoising". So that's 975 lbs. Round up to the next available kit, which will be 1000 lbs.
If you want to be more conservative, using 15% TW would push you to the 1200 lbs kit. I see no real situation where a 1400 lbs kit is needed here.
