The pin weight, as shown, would be 2700-2740lbs. Was it windy or something that day? The total weight on the truck and the truck should not change no matter where the hitch is. The distribution on the trucks axles is all that should change. I think your first front axle weight is not right. You will likely experience tire problems on the trailer rear axle with that much difference between the axles. Are you running G rated tires on the trailer? If only E rated tires you are limited to 6080lbs per axle, even if they are 7000lb axles. The 7000lb axles probably only got you better brakes and no weight increase unless G rated tires are part of the option.
