I thought my nose was a little high and I weighed in at the public scales on the highway and was surprised at how the weight was distributed;
Front axle.... 4700#
Front and dual rear together... 10,500#
Rear duals alone... 5750#
5er axle #1... 3750#
5er axle #2... 3750#
Yet together both axles on the fiver came in at... 8000# so not sure how that happens but those are my weights per axle so both 5er axles weighed the same, YRMV.

The further off level you are the more weight will be transferred to the low-side axel. In your case that would be your rear axel.
The easiest and smartest way to figure out YOUR weight situation would be to go to a scale and weigh the front axel SEPARATELY from the rear axel of your trailer, you'll be surprised at the difference.
