Was your tt and truck bed loaded as it normally would be for a trip? Sounds like it was only you at the scale and not the whole family?
TW- 980lbs
TT- 7480lbs
It looks like you could transfer another 200lbs to the front axle. How many links do you have under tension? Possibly try making the bars tighter by one link to see what the results are weight wise. Then if all good, you could add a washer and return the number of chain links back to the current amount.
What model wdh do you have? If a round bar, are the bars fairly close to being parallel with the tt frame/tongue? If a trunion, make sure the bars angle are such that the bar end (at the hitch) clears the tt frame- more so an issue if a top mounted coupler, if a bottom mount coupler usually is ok.
The model I have is the equalizer 14k with sway bars, no chains.I believe I have one more hole the bars can drop. I can raise them though. I have one more hole left to drop in my shank.
It was only me at the weigh station, and I was not inside when they weighed it. Bed was loaded, with the exception of firewood. I placed level on both bars and they are level.
