The weight is supposed to be RE-distributed to the front, as in the weight that was lost when the trailer was attached to the ball behind the rear axle. It is not supposed to add more weight than was originally carried by the front when uncoupled. It’s even ok to not restore all of the lost weight. Refer to the middle of page 20 on Equalizer’s own instructions here: https://www.equalizerhitch.com/documents/manuals/EQ-Owners-Manual_2016-06.pdf
Trucks are designed to carry their cargo (tongue weight) entirely on the rear axle with no issue.
There is no where in that manual that they weigh the truck. Everything is based on measurements. You are adding weight to the back of the truck and then using a fulcrum to even out the weight. The only way that is going to happen is to transfer weight to the front.
OP. Look at the linked manual and follow the instructions to measure for the proper adjustment. Once you do that, ignore the weight changes. They just don't matter unless you are going over your axle ratings.
