Do passengers\ gear in the cab add equal weight to axles?
Has anyone weighed their truck without passengers then again with passengers? Does more weight go on the front or rear axle when the cab is loaded?

I have a crew cab short bed. The reason I ask is because I weighed my truck and trailer awhile back. I was within 80lbs of my unloaded front axle weight, but that didn't include my wife, son and me along with a few other items we put in the cab, probably 400 lbs in all. So I'm sure I've been over my unloaded front axle weight when traveling, I'm going to have to drop one notch on my WD hitch to lessen the weight transfer.
I'm a little confused here. You are saying you're within 80 lbs over your unloaded front axle weight, but are you actually that close to your front axle ratings that the weight of the driver and passenger would put you over? If you aren't going to be over the ratings, why would you need to reduce the weight transfer? It sounds like you are set up properly.
