Change weight by adding washer to WD hitch?

If I add a washer to my WD hitch and use the same link on chain, will it improve my weight numbers? ie. help load steer axle. Is 60# off the steer axle worth worrying about? Just trying to dial it in.

Here's the numbers:
TV without TT
Steer axle 3600
Drive axle 4240
Gross 7840

TV with TT, WD hitch installed
Steer axle 3540
Drive axle 5100
TT axle 7220
Gross 15860

Whats the tongue weight? I've tried to search for the formula but cant find it.
I keep coming up with around 800 but that's not correct.
