---I am a hair under 37 feet tip to tail, and about 9000 lbs total trailer weight. I end up with about 11% tongue weight.---
Your previous post stated, "I am guessing my final set up had me losing about 100 kg off the steering axel."
If you lost 220# off the steer axle, that indicates the Andersen WDH restored about 180# of the approximate 400# which was removed by the tongue weight.
This calculates to a Front Axle Load Restoration of 180/400 = 45%.
That value is consistent with FALR's reported by other Andersen owners with similar tongue weights.
