Here's a link to a calculator. Put in your scale numbers and it will calculate for you.

As far as front axle weight restoration, check the owners manual for your truck. Some manufacturers recommend 100% restoration. Some only recommend 50%.

My F250 manual is one of those that recommends 50%. If my tongue weight takes 400 lbs off my front axle, Ford only recommends that I restore 200 lbs (50%).
