The WDH is one of those new Andersen WD hitches.
Numbers listed for wheel well heights are as maesured. You suppose the Timbren SES has something to do with that?
However, a high level of pitch-axis torque between ball and coupler could affect the relationship between height and load.
The high level of longitudinal force between the Andersen's ball and the coupler could be causing a high level of torque -- especially if no grease is being used on the ball.
Other Andersen users have reported unexpected height-load values.
One of them reported returning the front end to the unhitched height while only 40% of the load was returned to the front axle.
