All these 'too high' answers don't know unless they've actually weighed each axle separately. They're just guessing. Don't guess. Most people don't have enough knowledge of the topic to even have a clue about what to guess about.
If you want to know for sure run it across a scale that has a split platform. I had access to a split platform scale when I helped a buddy set up his 5er. His was about 200 lbs more on the rear axle for every 2" we raised the front. If yours scales out the same that would be 400 lbs which is no big deal.
