If you distribute more weight to the front to raise the back, you will be transferring additional weight to the front axle exceeding the 500 lb goal. You will get the truck level but you will remove more than the goal amount from the rear axle to accomplish that.
I just mentioned previously, Option B is telling me the WDH isn't set up very well if this example requires air in the bags to level out the TV after the WDH is set.
On edit: I screwed up the quote and I don't know how to fix it
"The goal". That's all been made up here and its really pointless to debate and discuss. I want no part of that that because nothing like it ever exists in real life where you have a known weight to transfer with a WDH and that you want to track. It doesn't work that way.
One can measure with a couple passes at truck scale to find out what has been distributed to the trailer and front axle using a WDH, and that discussion ends with actual numbers. Numbers that are nice to know, but you don't "need" to know unless you're checking axle weights in the process.
