And forget most of this thread, leave the wdh at home if your tongue weight is really that low.
The tongue weight is >500lbs. He's got the WD hitch cranked down so tight that he's transferring ALL the tongue weight off the rear axle, on to the front axle, AND THE *TRAILER*.
If 340lbs is being transferred to the front axle, there's another 200lbs or more being transferred to the trailer axles.
500lbs is the limit of most 1/2 ton pickup receivers before a WD hitch is required. Realistically, probably nothing bad will happen if he just gets rid of the WD hitch, but why take a chance on "probably" if he already has the hitch? Just adjust it right and hit the road.
One risk of leaving it as-is is bending the tongue on the trailer.
