so I am more evenly distributed with the trailer attached. than with out. Hum?
Based on these numbers and your hooked up number your WDH is too tight. Check GM's instructions for WDH setup. After connecting you should not have anymore weight on the front than you did prior to connecting. Need to loosen up the WDH hitch a bit.
What numbers you looking at? He has 300 lbs less, which is less than 10%, everything is fine like it is.
The front axle is 300 lbs more with the trailer than without. That is restoring more weight than was lost.
It is a weight distributing hitch. If the weight is not being distributed to the front axle, where is it going? He removed 300 lbs from the rear of the truck and put it on the front.
Unloaded the rear is carrying approximately 66% as much weight as the front. After attaching the trailer the rear is carrying approximately 90% as much as the front end. Technically when looking at front to rear ratio's as a total system, the front got lighter.
