Geo, your weights are almost identical to mine. Should be, same size coach.

Chucky, your weights confirm my concerns about the 6400. It is almost at maximum weight for the chassis. The loaded weight is at the rear of the coach which unloads the weight on the front axle and skews the balance.
Maybe you do need to change the rear springs. Your weight on the rear axle exceeds 17,500# that is listed as the capacity of the springs on my coach. If yours is the same, you are not getting any spring action at all and they are probably completely compressed. IMHO.
