Are you required to have a specific GVWR for your intended use?, is it going to be a commercial license/registration that will be inspected? If it is for your personal use and you already know what the axle ratings are then you can load it appropriately.
I was considering converting it to a flat bed or possibly ramp truck, and to be able to haul as heavy stuff as possible legally I need the correct weight in the papers. I'm not actually worried about exceeding the axle loads since GM themselves say it can take it, but as the numbers currently are I can only haul about 3800lbs of cargo and that's just not enough if I want to put some heavy machinery, cars etc on there... But no, it's not for commercial use. I just want to stay within legal boundaries. I should be able to carry more than double the current max cargo load according to the original plaque, but since the total weight has been reduced to to the axle load requirement the carrying capacity has been severely reduced...
