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.
Loaded up in the OPs first post he has nearly 3500 lbs on the front axle and unloaded he is at nearly 3200 lbs. In my book that means his front axle with the trailer hooked up has 300 lbs more weight. He is transferring too much weight to the front and needs to loosen up the WDH. You should never add more weight to the front axle with the trailer hooked up than dry. A little less is fine but never more.
